Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Salsa

  • 2 cups diced strawberries
  • 1 cup diced kiwi
  • 1 cup diced mango
  • 1 cup diced pineapple
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit Salsa: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries, kiwi, mango, and pineapple to create the base of the fruit salsa.
  2. Add Red Onion: Stir in the finely chopped red onion to add a subtle savory contrast to the sweet fruits.
  3. Flavor the Salsa: Drizzle the lime juice and honey over the fruit mixture. Gently toss all ingredients until the fruits are evenly coated and well combined, ensuring balanced flavors.
  4. Let Salsa Meld: Allow the salsa to sit for 15-20 minutes to enhance the blend of flavors while preparing the chips.
  5. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm it up for baking the tortilla chips.
  6. Butter the Tortillas: Brush melted butter on both sides of each flour tortilla to prepare them for sugar coating and baking.
  7. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar with cinnamon, creating the topping mixture for the chips.
  8. Sprinkle Sugar Mixture: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over one side of each buttered tortilla for a sweet, spiced flavor.
  9. Cut Tortillas: Slice each tortilla into triangle-shaped pieces resembling pizza slices to form individual chips.
  10. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the tortilla triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet, avoiding overlap to ensure even cooking.
  11. Bake Chips: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve a crisp and golden finish on both sides.
  12. Cool Chips: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly to reach optimal crispness.
  13. Serve: Serve the fruit salsa in a bowl alongside the warm cinnamon sugar tortilla chips for dipping and enjoying a delightful snack.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh fruit for the best flavor in the salsa.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more honey to the salsa if desired.
  • Keep an eye on the chips while baking to prevent burning since baking times may vary slightly by oven.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
  • The chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
