Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips

Fruit salsa with cinnamon sugar tortilla chips is a delightful and refreshing snack or appetizer that combines the freshness of fruit with the crunch of homemade tortilla chips. Here’s a simple recipe for you to enjoy:

Ingredients:

For the fruit salsa:

  • 2 cups of diced mixed fruit (such as strawberries, kiwi, mango, pineapple, and/or apple)
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on the sweetness of the fruit)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh mint leaves (optional, for added freshness)

For the cinnamon sugar tortilla chips:

  • 4-6 flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons of melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. For the fruit salsa, combine the diced fruit in a mixing bowl. Add lime juice and honey or maple syrup if desired. Gently toss to coat the fruit evenly. Sprinkle with chopped mint leaves, if using. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the tortilla chips.
  3. For the cinnamon sugar tortilla chips, stack the tortillas on top of each other and use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut them into wedges or desired chip shapes.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
  5. Brush both sides of the tortilla wedges with melted butter or coconut oil, then sprinkle each side generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  6. Place the coated tortilla wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortilla chips are crisp and lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
  8. Once the tortilla chips are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
  9. Serve the cinnamon sugar tortilla chips alongside the chilled fruit salsa. Enjoy!
