Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Tortillas

Stack your flour tortillas and cut them into triangles using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Think “nacho chip” size—it makes them perfect for dipping.

Tip: Corn tortillas can work too, but flour tortillas bake up lighter and sweeter.

2. Brush with Butter

Lay the tortilla triangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each one lightly with melted butter. This helps the cinnamon sugar stick and gives that irresistible golden crunch.

Mistake to avoid: Don’t soak them in butter—just a light coating will do, or they may turn soggy instead of crisp.

3. Sprinkle the Cinnamon Sugar

In a small bowl, mix cinnamon with granulated sugar. Sprinkle generously over both sides of the tortilla chips. Be as generous as your sweet tooth allows!

4. Bake Until Crispy

Slide the tray into a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway. The chips should be lightly golden and crunchy.

Storage note: Let them cool fully before storing—this keeps them crisp.

5. Make the Dip

While your chips bake, whip up an easy dip. Some tasty options:

  • Chocolate Sauce: Melt chocolate chips with a splash of cream.
  • Fruit Salsa: Dice strawberries, kiwi, and mango with a squeeze of lime.
  • Sweet Cream Cheese Dip: Blend softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla.

Storage & Serving Tips

  • Store: Keep cooled chips in an airtight container at room temp for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: Not ideal, as they lose crispness. Best enjoyed fresh.
  • Serve with: Hot cocoa, coffee, or as a fun party snack with multiple dips on the table.
