Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the Chips
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 flour tortillas, 8 inch
Instructions
- Mix cinnamon sugar. In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Butter tortillas. Brush the melted unsalted butter generously on both sides of each flour tortilla to ensure they crisp up nicely and hold the seasoning.
- Season. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over both sides of the buttered tortillas, making sure each side is coated well with the sweet and spicy blend.
- Cut. Using a pizza cutter, slice each tortilla into wedges, typically into 6 to 8 pieces, to create chip-sized portions.
- Air fry. Line the basket of an air fryer with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer inside the basket without overlapping. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
- Cool and serve. Transfer the crispy tortilla chips to a plate or wire rack to cool. They will continue to crisp as they cool. Serve once slightly cooled and enjoy this sweet, crunchy snack.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Use fresh tortillas for the best crispiness and texture.
- Air fryer models vary; adjust cook time slightly as needed to prevent burning.
- These chips can be served alone or with dips such as cream cheese or fruit preserves.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
