Instructions

Prepare the Tortillas: Start by laying out a tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Using a pastry brush, evenly brush the entire surface of the tortilla with melted butter. This will ensure each chip has a rich, buttery flavor once baked.
-
Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the buttered tortilla. Be sure to cover the entire surface to achieve a perfect cinnamon-sugar flavor with each bite.
-
Cut the Tortilla: Once the tortilla is well-coated, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice it into 8 even wedges. You can cut the tortilla into smaller pieces if you prefer thinner, crispier chips.
-
Bake the Chips: Arrange the tortilla wedges on a baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap for even baking. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the chips are lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking—dark brown edges may indicate they’ve been in the oven too long.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cinnamon tortilla chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. The chips will continue to crisp up as they cool. These sweet, crunchy treats are perfect for dipping into your favorite sauces, or you can enjoy them as is for a quick, satisfying snack.
Tips for Success
-
Flavor Variations: For added depth of flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of sea salt over the cinnamon sugar mixture before baking. The combination of sweet and salty will elevate the taste.
-
Adjusting for Size: If you’re using a different size package of tortillas, be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. The more tortillas you use, the longer they may need in the oven, so be sure to monitor them closely to achieve that perfect crispy texture.
-
Storage: Store any leftover chips in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days to keep them fresh and crunchy.
