Description

Crunchy and sweet air fryer cinnamon sugar tortilla chips that serve as a perfect quick snack or appetizer. Made with simple ingredients like flour tortillas, butter, cinnamon, and sugar, these churro-inspired chips delight with their crispy texture and irresistible flavor in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Main Ingredient

  • 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until combined evenly, creating your sweet coating mixture.
  2. Butter the Tortillas: Melt the butter and use a brush to apply it evenly over both sides of each flour tortilla. This will help the cinnamon sugar stick and enhance flavor.
  3. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over both sides of the buttered tortillas, ensuring an even layer of sweetness.
  4. Slice into Wedges: Using a pizza cutter, slice each coated tortilla into wedges, similar to chip shapes. Repeat this process with all four tortillas.
  5. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking and arrange tortilla wedges in a single layer to allow for even cooking.
  6. Air Fry the Chips: Set the air fryer temperature to 350°F (175°C) and air fry the chips for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to crisp evenly.
  7. Cool and Serve: Transfer the cooked chips to a wire rack or plate to cool completely; as they cool, they will become crisp. Serve immediately and enjoy this sweet, crunchy treat.

Notes

  • Substitutions: Use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas for a different texture and flavor.
  • Variations: Enhance the cinnamon sugar by adding nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, or apple pie spice. For an extra flavor boost, mix a splash of vanilla extract into the melted butter before brushing.
  • Recipe Tips: To make a smaller batch, simply halve the recipe. Avoid doubling it as overcrowding the air fryer basket will prevent even cooking. If your chips come out slightly chewy, air fry them for an additional 20–60 seconds until crisp.
  • Storage: Store any leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within 2–3 days for the best taste and texture.
