Baked Mexican Chips on a Stick

July 25, 2025

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.

    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. 🤷‍♂️

    I don’t know about this… I feel like they wouldn’t taste that good.

  17. User avatar cletus.rath says:

    Bland. Didn’t get enough flavour, I guess I did somethin’ wrong.

  18. User avatar odell.bartell says:

    They turned out kinda soggy for me. Maybe I did something wrong. I’ll try again.

    1. User avatar lyman.okuneva71 says:

      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.
