🛒 Ingredients (For the Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips)
Cinnamon Chips:
6 flour tortillas (6-inch)
3 tbsp melted butter
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Fruit Salsa:
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
1 cup fresh mango, diced
1 cup fresh blueberries
½ cup fresh kiwi, peeled and diced
½ cup fresh peaches, diced (optional)
1–2 tbsp honey (to taste)
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped (optional)
👨🍳 How to Make Fresh Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Chips
🍓 Step 1: Make the Cinnamon Chips
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush the flour tortillas with melted butter on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over both sides of the buttered tortillas.
Stack the tortillas and cut them into triangles (like slicing a pizza).
Arrange the tortilla triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crispy. Let them cool while you prepare the fruit salsa.
🥭 Step 2: Make the Fruit Salsa
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries, mango, blueberries, kiwi, and peaches (if using).
Drizzle the honey and lime juice over the fruit and toss gently to coat.
If you like, sprinkle the fresh mint over the salsa for a burst of flavor.
Chill the fruit salsa in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
🧂 Step 3: Serve & Enjoy
Serve the fruit salsa in a bowl alongside the cinnamon chips for dipping.
For an extra touch, garnish with a few more mint leaves or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon-sugar on top of the chips.
💡 Tips & Tricks
🍊 Mix It Up:
Feel free to swap out the fruits based on what’s in season or what you have on hand. Pineapple, blackberries, or grapes would all work great in this salsa.
For a more tropical twist, add some coconut flakes to the salsa!
🧀 Make It Creamy:
If you prefer a creamy dip to go with the salsa, mix a bit of cream cheese and whipped cream with a tablespoon of honey and serve as a sweet dip alongside the salsa.
🍃 Fresh Herbs:
For a little extra flavor, you can also use basil in place of mint or add a bit of cilantro for a savory kick.
🌿 Sweet & Spicy Twist:
If you want a spicy kick, add a small jalapeño (finely chopped) to the fruit salsa or sprinkle some cayenne pepper over the cinnamon chips.
🧺 Meal Prep & Storage
🗓️ Make-Ahead:
Cinnamon chips can be baked up to 3 days ahead. Store them in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
Fruit salsa can be made up to 1 day ahead. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge. Just stir before serving.
🏷️ Storage:
Cinnamon chips: Store leftover chips in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Fruit salsa: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. The salsa will get juicy as it sits, so you may want to drain off any excess liquid before serving again.
