Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Chips
- 6 6-inch flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Fruit Salsa
- 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 1/2 tablespoons strawberry preserves or seedless raspberry preserves
- 16 ounces strawberries, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 mangos or 2 peeled peaches, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 kiwi, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 pint fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cinnamon chips.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon; set this mixture aside for coating the chips.
- Brush Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas on a cookie sheet and brush each tortilla with the melted butter evenly using a basting brush.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly over the buttered tortillas.
- Cut Tortillas: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each tortilla into 6 triangular pieces, slicing like a pie.
- Bake Chips: Bake the cut tortillas in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until they are crispy and golden. Remove and let them cool completely.
- Mix Fruit Salsa Dressing: In a small bowl, combine honey, fresh lemon juice, and strawberry or raspberry preserves; mix well and set aside.
- Combine Fruits: In a large serving bowl, add the chopped strawberries, mangos or peaches, kiwi, and blueberries.
- Add Dressing and Chill: Pour the honey mixture over the fruit and gently stir to combine. Chill the fruit salsa in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Serve: Serve the chilled fruit salsa alongside the cooled cinnamon chips for dipping. Best enjoyed within two to three hours of preparation.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute or add other fruits such as apples, raspberries, blackberries, or nectarines based on preference.
- Use a basting brush to easily coat tortillas with melted butter and line the cookie sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat to prevent sticking.
- If you don’t have preserves, replace them with brown sugar or double the honey quantity for sweetness.
- Cinnamon chips can be prepared in advance and stored in an airtight container for several days to maintain crispness.
