Ingredients

For the Fruit Salsa

  • 1 fresh pineapple, finely diced
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, finely diced
  • 6–8 kiwis, finely diced
  • 3–5 peaches, finely diced (canned in natural syrup works well)
  • 2 cups red grapes, quartered

For the Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

  • 10 medium flour tortillas
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Fruit Salsa

  1. Wash and finely dice all your fruit. Aim for small, uniform pieces to ensure a scoopable, salsa-like texture.
  2. Combine the diced pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, peaches, and grapes in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Gently stir to mix, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the chips. Chilling the fruit enhances the flavors and keeps everything crisp.

Step 2: Prepare the Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cut each flour tortilla into 8 wedges (cut in half, then quarters, then eighths).
  3. Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
  4. Brush each tortilla with melted butter.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle generously over the buttered tortillas.
  6. Bake for 5–6 minutes, or until golden and just beginning to crisp. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
  7. Let the chips cool completely on the baking sheets before serving.

Step 3: Serve

Serve the chilled fruit salsa with a bowl of warm, crispy cinnamon tortilla chips on the side. Watch it disappear within minutes!

Tips & Variations

  • Switch Up the Fruit: Try adding mango, blueberries, apples, or even pomegranate seeds depending on the season.
  • Add a Citrus Kick: Stir in a tablespoon of fresh lime or orange juice for a zesty finish.
  • Make It Spicy: Add a tiny pinch of cayenne or chili powder to the cinnamon sugar for a sweet-heat contrast.
  • Vegan Option: Use plant-based butter for a completely vegan-friendly snack.
  • Store-Bought Shortcut: In a pinch, use store-bought cinnamon pita chips instead of homemade tortillas.

Storage Tips

  • Fruit Salsa: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The fruit may release some juice as it sits, so give it a gentle stir before serving.
  • Cinnamon Chips: Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days. Re-crisp in a warm oven if needed.
