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
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Fruit Salsa
- Wash and finely dice all your fruit. Aim for small, uniform pieces to ensure a scoopable, salsa-like texture.
- Combine the diced pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, peaches, and grapes in a large mixing bowl.
- 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
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut each flour tortilla into 8 wedges (cut in half, then quarters, then eighths).
- Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Brush each tortilla with melted butter.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle generously over the buttered tortillas.
- Bake for 5–6 minutes, or until golden and just beginning to crisp. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
- 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.
