Sweet & Spicy Baked Flour Tortilla Chips

Last updated on May 18, 2022 By Anna Leave a Comment This post may contain affiliate links.

Sweet & Spicy Baked Flour Tortilla Chips are the reason I buy whole wheat flour tortillas instead of white.  There's something about the flavor of the wheat, cayenne, butter and brown sugar that makes them irresistible. They are a great accompaniment to soup, salad or sandwiches and in my opinion, don't need any sort of dip.

Baked Flour Tortilla Chips

Submitted to Texas Co-op Power's recipe collection by a reader named Linda, I fell in love with these baked tortilla chips early this year and have made them many times since. I usually make them with whole wheat tortillas as the recipe instructs, but I had some giant pita rounds in the freezer and used those for this batch.  They worked nicely, but the flavor and texture of baked tortilla chips with whole wheat flour tortillas is a little better.

One final note and this is pretty obvious -- chipotle powder is a great substitute for the cayenne. Update: You can make these keto-friendly with brands like La Banderita.
