Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Chips
- 6 6-inch flour tortillas
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Fruit Salsa
- 2 ½ tablespoons honey
- 2 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 ½ tablespoons strawberry preserves or seedless raspberry preserves
- 16 ounces strawberries, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 2 mangos or 2 peeled peaches, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 3 kiwis, cut into ½-inch pieces
- ½ pint fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Chips: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar and set aside. Lay the flour tortillas flat on a cookie sheet, then brush each tortilla with melted butter evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the tortillas. Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice each tortilla into 6 wedge-shaped pieces, like cutting a pie.
- Bake Cinnamon Chips: Place the cut tortillas in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes until crisp and lightly golden. Remove from oven and let the chips cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Make Fruit Salsa Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lemon juice, and strawberry or raspberry preserves until well combined. Set this glaze aside.
- Combine Fruit: In a large serving bowl, gently toss together the strawberries, mangoes or peaches, kiwis, and blueberries. Pour the honey glaze over the fruit mixture and stir gently to coat all the fruit without mashing them.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the fruit salsa and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve, preferably within two to three hours for the freshest flavor. Serve the chilled fruit salsa alongside the cinnamon chips for dipping.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute or add other fruits like apples, raspberries, blackberries, or nectarines to customize your fruit salsa.
- Use a basting brush to apply the melted butter evenly over the tortillas for ease and even coating.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup, but be cautious when using a pizza cutter on mats.
- If you don’t have preserves, you can substitute with brown sugar or simply increase the honey to maintain sweetness.
- The cinnamon chips can be made a few days in advance and stored in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
