Tips & Substitutions
For extra crunch, ensure tortillas are very thin and cut them into smaller wedges. If you want a sugar alternative, consider using a sweetener like stevia or erythritol. For a fun twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. These chips can also be made with whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these crunchy cinnamon chips as a delightful snack or dessert. They pair beautifully with a side of fruit salsa or yogurt dip for added flavor. For a complete treat, serve alongside a scoop of ice cream or alongside a slice of Libby'S Coconut Cake for a delicious contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cinnamon chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If they lose their crunch, you can reheat them in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid refrigeration as it can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?
Yes, corn tortillas can be used for a gluten-free option, though they may yield a slightly different texture. Just be mindful that they may bake faster, so keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
How can I make these chips sweeter?
To enhance the sweetness, you can increase the sugar in the cinnamon mixture or drizzle a bit of honey or agave syrup over the chips before baking for added flavor.
Can I add other spices to the seasoning mix?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with spices like cocoa powder for a chocolate twist or even a dash of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick. Just remember to balance it with sweetness!
