Ingredients

  • Flour Tortillas (soft taco size or larger; use as many as needed for your batch)
  • 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
    • Tip: Use unsalted butter to control sweetness, but salted butter works too for a slightly savory balance.
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
    • Optional: Add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a warm twist.

Equipment Needed

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (or nonstick cooking spray)
  • Small bowl for cinnamon-sugar mixture
  • Pastry brush
  • Pizza cutter or sharp knife

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven
    • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, or lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture
    • In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon until fully combined.
    • Taste the mixture and adjust the ratio if you prefer more cinnamon flavor.
  3. Butter the Tortillas
    • Place one tortilla on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Using a pastry brush, spread a thin, even layer of melted butter over the entire surface of the tortilla.
    • Make sure to coat the edges as well for a uniform crispiness.
  4. Sprinkle the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture
    • Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered tortilla.
    • Cover the surface evenly, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
  5. Cut the Tortillas
    • Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to slice the tortilla into triangles, as you would cut a pizza.
    • For smaller bites, cut the tortilla into smaller wedges or strips.
  6. Repeat the Process
    • Prepare additional tortillas following the same steps until you’ve used all the butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture.
    • You can bake multiple trays at a time if your oven allows for even heat distribution.
  7. Bake the Chips
    • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortilla chips are golden brown and crisp.
    • Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to avoid burning, as ovens may vary in baking times.
  8. Cool the Chips
    • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the chips to cool on the tray for 2-3 minutes.
    • Transfer the chips to a wire rack or plate to cool completely. This step ensures they firm up for maximum crunch.

Serving Suggestions

  • Sweet Dips: Pair with fruit salsa, caramel sauce, cream cheese frosting, or melted chocolate.
  • Ice Cream Topper: Crumble over vanilla ice cream for a crunchy topping.
  • Yogurt Parfait: Use as a layer in parfaits for added sweetness and texture.
  • Snack Time: Enjoy them on their own with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa.

Tips for Success

  • Choose Your Tortilla: Flour tortillas work best for this recipe, but you can also use whole wheat or gluten-free varieties. Thinner tortillas result in crispier chips.
  • Watch the Bake Time: Thin tortillas will bake faster, so check at the 8-minute mark. Adjust bake time for thicker tortillas or personal oven quirks.
  • Customize the Flavor:
    • Add a drizzle of honey after baking for a caramelized finish.
    • Mix the cinnamon-sugar with a touch of cocoa powder for a chocolatey flavor.
    • Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt after baking for a sweet-salty combo.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • To re-crisp, warm them in the oven at 250°F for 2-3 minutes.
