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 kiwi, cut into ½-inch pieces
- ½ pint fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Chips: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar; set aside.
- Assemble Chips: Place the flour tortillas on a cookie sheet. Brush each tortilla with the melted butter, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over them.
- Slice Tortillas: Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut each tortilla into 6 triangular pieces, like slicing a pie.
- Bake Chips: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until the chips are crisp and lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Make Fruit Salsa Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the honey, fresh lemon juice, and strawberry or raspberry preserves. Stir to blend and set aside.
- Prepare Fruit Mixture: In a large serving bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, mangos or peaches, kiwi, and blueberries.
- Toss Salsa: Pour the honey-lemon preserves dressing over the fruit mixture and gently stir to coat all the fruit evenly.
- Chill & Serve: Chill the fruit salsa until ready to serve. Serve alongside the cooled cinnamon chips. For best flavor and texture, enjoy within two to three hours of preparation.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the fruit salsa with other fruits such as apples, raspberries, blackberries, or nectarines based on your preference.
- When brushing the tortillas with melted butter, use a basting brush for easy and even coverage.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat to prevent sticking; take care when slicing with a pizza cutter on mats.
- If you don’t have preserves, substitute with the same amount of brown sugar or double the honey quantity.
- The cinnamon chips can be prepared a few days ahead and stored in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
