This is a sweet treat that the kids will be happy to eat for an after-school snack. These are perfect as a finger food for a party appetizer or delicious dessert with diced fruit and ice cream.

Cinnamon Sugar Chips are so good with ice cream or chopped fresh fruits. Chips are also delicious with a drizzle of melted chocolate or honey over the tops. Another nice crunchy topping is nuts that have been seasoned with warm spices.

I love using tortillas to make my own Air Fryer Taco Shells and Air Fryer Tortilla Chips. These cinnamon sugar chips are just as yummy, and are perfect when I want a sweet treat in a hurry!

FAQ’s

How do I leftover chips?

Place chips in an airtight container, closed container or resealable storage bag at room temperature on your kitchen counter for 3-4 days. Place them in an air-tight container or freezer storage bag in your freezer for up to 2 months.

What are some other dishes I can I make with cinnamon?

Cinnamon is a warm spice that makes yummy, gooey air fryer cinnamon rolls, air fryer cinnamon sugar tortilla roll ups or air fryer cinnamon crescent rolls.

Can I use a different type or tortilla?

If you do not have flour tortillas, you can use corn tortillas. They aren’t as fluffy as the flour tortilla but they have a natural sweetness than enhances cinnamon sugar mixture.

    Do you think Monk fruit sweetener would work too and spray butter?

      That could work. I haven’t tried it, but I think they would make them sweet. Let me know if you try them that way!
