There’s something undeniably fun about food on a stick, and when it’s crispy, spicy, and full of flavor like Baked Mexican Chips on a Stick, it’s even better. These clever snacks combine the satisfying crunch of tortilla chips with bold Mexican-inspired seasoning, all served in a way that’s perfect for parties, festivals, or a casual night in.
At first glance, they might look like a novelty, but these chips pack some serious flavor. Lightly brushed with oil, dusted with smoky spices like chili powder, paprika, cumin, and garlic, and then baked until golden, they offer the taste of street food with the convenience of a homemade snack. Sticking the chips on skewers doesn’t just make them more fun, it also makes them easy to serve, dip, and share.
What makes this snack stand out is its combination of crunch and spice. When baked correctly, the chips become perfectly crisp without needing to be deep-fried. That means less mess, less oil, and a snack that feels a little lighter, even when it delivers big on flavor. They’re also a great canvas for your favorite dips, whether it’s classic guacamole, creamy queso, or zesty salsa.
These baked chips on a stick are also incredibly customizable. You can make them from corn tortillas for a more traditional feel, or flour tortillas for a softer crunch. Want more heat? Add a pinch of cayenne. Craving a hint of citrus? A squeeze of lime over the top before baking does the trick. They can be as simple or as bold as you want them to be.
Great for gatherings or solo snacking, Baked Mexican Chips on a Stick are more than just a playful presentation, they’re a reminder that snacking can be both flavorful and fun. Whether you’re setting out a party platter or looking to elevate your movie night snacks, these sticks bring a new twist to chip time.

These are AMAZING! So easy to make and super delicious. My kids loved them!
Absolutely loved these! My friends devoured them at the party. Will definitely make again.
Not sure about this recipe. I tried it but the chips didn’t come out crispy at all.
Baked chips? Why not just fry ’em? They taste better that way. 🤷♂️
Kinda plain if you ask me. Needs some cheese or something! 🧀
I totally agree! Some cheese would really take these chips to the next level! 🧀
I used sweet potatoes instead and they were fab! Also added some garlic powder.
Amazin! Totally gonna make em again. (Just remember to flip them halfway!)
So easy! I’m not a good cook but I managed to make these! Yummy!
Why do people call these Mexican? It just potatoes… kinda weird.
Wow, these chips are fantastic! I’m gonna make them this weekend. Thanks for sharing! 🥳
Where I’m from, we just call these french fries. But stick or no stick, they are delish!
These are amazing! The flavors are bangin’ and my kids loved them.
I’m glad you enjoyed them! They really are a hit with kids. Did you add any dips?
Ain’t nobody got time for all this slicing. I just use a bag of chips instead. 😜
You are missing out! These are way better than chips! 😋
Super easy to make! I added some cheese on top, and it was a hit at the party.
Cheese? Really? I thought it was supposed to be healthy… 🤔
Sounds delicious! I love the idea of adding cheese. What kind did you use?
Yum! I tried with sweet potatoes too, turned out great! Just as good! 🤗
I don’t know about this… I feel like they wouldn’t taste that good.
Bland. Didn’t get enough flavour, I guess I did somethin’ wrong.
They turned out kinda soggy for me. Maybe I did something wrong. I’ll try again.
Don’t worry! Soggy can happen if the potatoes hold too much moisture or if they were too thick. Try slicing them thinner next time.
I think ya just baking it wrong. I always get perfect chips! Did you actually follow the temp?
Boring recipe. Just cut potatoes and bake? I expected more 🙄
My knowldge says news flash: it just fries potato. Not ya think, uh?
I think it’s more than just frying! Baking gives them a whole new flavor. Plus, it’s healthier!
OMG I love spicy snacks! I added more chili powder and they were fire! 🔥
Potato chips on a stick? Seems odd but I love it. Making this for my next cookout!
How do you eat these? Do you dip em or what? 🤔
This is so easy! My kids helped, and they had a blast. Thanks! 😊
Not as crispy as I hoped but still tasty. Gonna try them with some salsa next time!
