Cinnamon Chips
- Flour tortillas
- Butter
- Cinnamon
- Sugar
Toppings
- Fresh strawberries
- Granulated sugar – Adding sugar to your berries not only sweetens them up, but creates a nice sauce.
- Chocolate chips – I prefer semi-sweet, but use whatever you like.
- Coconut oil – This helps your chocolate drizzle smoothly. Cold pressed coconut oil will have a little coconut flavor and refined coconut oil will have none. You could use a different oil or a little butter here as well.
How to Make Strawberry & Chocolate Nachos
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
- Start with your cinnamon chips. Simply brush flour tortillas with a little melted butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Cut into wedges and bake them in the oven until golden and crisp. It only takes about 10 minutes and the cool off fast!
- Next you’ll need some sweetened strawberries. This isn’t rocket science, but many people don’t know the secret to a beautiful, flavorful fruit syrup is simply- sugar. I add just enough sugar to these chopped strawberries to sweeten, but if you’d like more of a syrup, simply add a little extra sugar.
- You’ll also need some drizzling chocolate. Another little secret, but this time for easy chocolate sauce that drizzles like a dream: fat. I prefer coconut oil, but any neutral-flavored vegetable oil works great, or even shortening or butter. Just a little bit melted in with your chocolate will keep it at a nice drizzling consistency.
Step 2: Assemble Your Nachos
- Simply lay out your chips, spoon on your strawberries and drizzle with chocolate.
- They are wonderful just like that or, if desired, you can add a little whipped cream.
Storing and Other Tips
- These are best enjoyed freshly made! If you have leftover components, store them separately and assemble additional servings as needed.
- The strawberries can and should sit in the fridge for a bit to create the sauce, so you can do that step a few hours in advance if needed.

This looks incredible. Can’t wait to try them.
This sounds absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Some of your comments were so funny I would have eaten some more and more lol! Trying it tonite.
My boyfriend was really disappointed when El pollo loco stopped selling chocolate nachos before we could ever try them. When I saw this recipe I just had to try it. My boyfriend loved them and so did I!
even faster – heat Nutella (still in jar) in microwave till drizzle-able and use instead of chocolate.
even cheaper – Dollar stores often have a no-name Nutella in stock, can’t beat the price!
My mom has done something called ice cream nachos for year. She take the cinnamon chips puts a small scoop of ice cream, drizzles with chocolate and a little whip cream. Yummy!
I came across this recipe while while looking for something else, and since I just happened to have a couple of left over flour tortillas and some strawberries that needed to be eaten I whipped this up for a special treat and the whole family loved it!!
I have made your chips and fruit salsa…YUUUMMMMMM!!! The left over chips were great. My daughter was hooked from the very first one; so easy to make, she has began making them herself just to snack on. Thanks for recipes.
Just made these with some leftover strawberries, absolutely delish! Perfect for a hot summer day! Thanks for a great recipe!
Now, how to do a Gluten Free version?
Obviously, corn tortilla chips would change the flavor a lot… And GF flour tortillas are expensive and none too good.
