Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips (Print)

Sweet cinnamon sugar coats crispy tortilla chips for a quick and tasty snack.

# Ingredients:

→ Tortilla Chips

01 - 6 medium (8-inch) flour tortillas
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Cinnamon Sugar

03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
05 - Pinch of salt

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes.
02 - Combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
03 - Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted unsalted butter.
04 - Stack the tortillas and cut into 6 wedges each, creating 36 chips.
05 - Sprinkle both sides of the tortilla wedges generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
06 - Place tortilla wedges in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary.
07 - Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through until golden brown and crisp.
08 - Remove chips and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in under 20 minutes with almost no actual effort, perfect for when you need dessert fast.
  • That magical combination of salty butter and sweet cinnamon reminds you why simple recipes often taste best.
02 -
  • Flipping halfway through is not optional—one side will cook faster than the other, and skipping this step leaves you with soggy patches.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the chips won't get enough hot air circulation and they'll steam instead of crisping.
03 -
  • Cut your tortillas while they're still slightly warm from the pan—they cut cleaner and don't crack as much.
  • If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake these at 375°F on a sheet pan for 8–10 minutes, but they won't get quite as crispy.
