Ingredients
- 2 cups diced strawberries
- 1 cup diced kiwi
- 1 cup diced mango
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Butter for brushing
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the fruit salsa. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of diced strawberries, 1 cup of diced kiwi, and 1 cup of diced mango.
- Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of honey to the bowl. Gently toss the fruit mixture until all the ingredients are well combined. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the cinnamon sugar chips.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. This will be your cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Take the 4 flour tortillas and lay them flat on a clean surface. Using a pastry brush or a spoon, lightly brush one side of each tortilla with melted butter.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the buttered side of each tortilla, ensuring an even coating.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each tortilla into wedges (like slicing a pizza) to create chip shapes.
- Place the tortilla wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- To serve, place the fruit salsa in a bowl and arrange the baked cinnamon sugar chips around it. Enjoy your delicious fruit salsa with the sweet and crunchy chips!
Tips
- Choose ripe, fresh fruits for the most intense flavor in your salsa. Look for strawberries, mangoes, and kiwis that are soft but not mushy.
- For perfectly crispy chips, make sure to cut tortillas into even-sized wedges and spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Watch your chips closely while baking—they can go from golden to burnt quickly. Start checking around 8 minutes.
- To prevent soggy chips, let the cinnamon sugar chips cool completely before serving.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of mint or a dash of orange zest to your fruit salsa.
- This recipe can be prepared ahead of time. Chop fruits and make chips up to a few hours before serving, storing them separately to maintain crispness.
