Quick and easy Baked Cinnamon Chips are made by brushing flour tortillas with melted butter, sprinkling with cinnamon-sugar, and baking until light and crisp. They make a delicious snack on their own, or try topping them with some vanilla ice cream and buttermilk caramel sauce or hot fudge. They are also delicious dipped in fruit dip or straight into whipped cream. Two of our favorite uses are to build a plate of decadent Strawberry-Chocolate Nachos or dip in Fruit Salsa!

How to Make Baked Cinnamon Chips:
Simply lay out your tortillas and brush each one with melted butter and sprinkle with a little cinnamon-sugar and then cut into wedges. I’ve provided measurements and quantities in the recipe, but you can absolutely eyeball literally everything here. I never measure anything when I make these. Simply brush and sprinkle!
Lay them on a baking sheet (I line mine with parchment or foil for easy clean up) and then bake them in the oven. Different brands and sizes of tortillas might take varying amounts of time but it’s usually about 10 minutes or so. Just keep an eye on them and take them out when they turn golden on the edges.
When they’re done and cooled completely they’ll be light and crisp and oh so delicious. These are yummy, addicting little things. You can use them for all kinds of things- try making nachos by topping them with some vanilla ice cream and buttermilk caramel sauce or hot fudge. Or dip them in fruit dip or straight into whipped cream. Or just snack on them plain- they make a great after school snack. My toddler loves making these with me!
Try them with our Sweet Fruit Salsa, or in Strawberry Chocolate Nachos!
Questions & Reviews
I can make this recipe into 2 ingrediants for you. 🙂 There is a land o’ lakes butter on the market that already has the cinnamon sugar in it and all you would have to do is spread it on the tortillas 🙂 Can’t wait to try this
Can’t wait to get our new stove so we can make some of those. Can you make them on an outdoor grill? I’m sure you can make almost anything on a grill these days. Lol
Nope, I don’t think so 🙂
I bake cookies on the grill at the lake, just use a cookie sheet
Have you tried using corn tortillas instead of flour? My boyfriend is gluten free… Just wondered if it would taste funny 🙂 Thanks!
I personally don’t like these with corn- I think they’re too chewy. Fried on the other hand, would be yummy 🙂
What are the measurements that you use for the cinnamon and sugar topping mixture?
I just eyeball it!
My grandmother and mom used to make these when we where little kids… they called them Bonuelos'(spelling) they where always a GREAT HIT! I’ve done the same with my children and now that they are all gown and when they come back to visit, they still ask me… Mom can you make use some Bonuelos’ and of course… I do! =D
I made these chips yesterday for a snack while my husband and I watched a movie. Totally loved them!!! And love how easy they are. We ate them all before our two year old boys could try any so I made some more this evening. This will definitely be a regular snack in our house! I’m going to try the Strawberry and Chocolate Nachos next!
These chips are super delish and a huge hit among a crowd! Be very careful when baking them, though. They really only take about 8 minutes and don’t use a “jelly roll pan” Use a regular cookie sheet or a stone. I (unfortunately) had to toss an entire pan out tonight because they were too burned to serve to my coworkers tomorrow. But…still super yummy nonetheless!!!

Love this idea but was wondering anyone’s thought on using Corn Tortillas as I’m Gluten Intolerant. ANYONE TRIED IT WITH CORN TORTILLAS?
