If cinnamon sugar tortilla crisps with a hint of caramelized butter are your vibe, this simple ingredient list has you covered. Plus, the melted butter brush step is a quick shortcut to getting those chips golden and flavorful without fuss.

My favorite tip for ingredient quality is to sift your cinnamon into the sugar for even distribution. This little prep trick turns your Cinnamon Tortilla Chips from good to absolutely crave-worthy.

Want to play with flavors? Swap out the cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice in fall or add a dash of nutmeg or cardamom for a fun twist on these baked cinnamon chips.

Making Cinnamon Tortilla Chips is such a satisfying quick project that turns out perfectly every time. Your kitchen will smell amazing, and you’ll be seriously wowed by how simple these sweet cinnamon chips are to whip up.

Bit of a hiccup? If some chips seem softer, pop them back in the oven for a couple more minutes, but watch closely! I learned this when my first batch was unevenly crisp, and adjusting bake time fixed it.

This Cinnamon Tortilla Chips recipe takes about 25 minutes total from start to finish, including prep. Meanwhile, prep your favorite dipping sauces or a batch of fresh fruit salsa like the strawberry salsa with toaster oven cinnamon chips from Toaster Oven Love for double the fun.

Letting your chips cool well is key — if you dive in too soon, you’ll miss that perfect crunch sensation.

This Cinnamon Tortilla Chips brings that sweet and crunchy factor that pairs beautifully with so many different treats. My favorite way to dig into this cinnamon sugar tortilla crisps is with a simple dip of vanilla yogurt or cream cheese frosting for that dreamy sweet-salty combo.

Leftovers? Don’t stash away in the fridge; these chips love to stay crisp in an airtight container at room temp. If they soften, a quick bake-up in a toaster oven or oven at 300°F for 5 minutes freshens them right back.

Seasonal spin? Toss your cinnamon sugar mix with a pinch of chili powder for a spicy-sweet kick perfect for fall gatherings. Trust me — your snack game just got more exciting.

Absolutely! You can make the cinnamon sugar mix ahead and even cut and brush the tortillas, but bake them fresh for best crunch. If storing baked chips, keep them airtight at room temperature and gently reheat before serving.

I’ve tried coconut oil and it’s a lovely dairy-free option with a subtle twist. Olive oil works too but changes the flavor slightly. Melted margarine is an okay swap if you need to.

Yes! Using corn tortillas instead of flour gives you a gluten-free sweet cinnamon chip option. Keep an eye on brands as some corn tortillas may have additives.

Definitely! Recipes like the easy cinnamon chips from Toaster Oven Love show how you can air fry for a bit quicker crisp. Just watch the timing closely as air fryers can brown chips fast.

Just multiply ingredients! I’d recommend baking in batches to keep all your chips crisp and evenly baked.

Brush the tortillas evenly with melted butter and don’t skip the sprinkle-press step to get sugar to stick. Also, spreading chips well on the baking sheet prevents uneven baking.

Oh yes! My top flavor spins include adding a pinch of pumpkin pie spice, swapping out cinnamon for cocoa powder for a chocolate chip vibe, and even using honey instead of butter for a sticky sweet texture.
