Ingredients
Cinnamon Chips
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Fruit Salsa
- 2½ tablespoons honey
- 2½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2½ tablespoons strawberry preserves (or seedless raspberry preserves)
- 16 ounces strawberries, diced into small pieces
- 2 mangos or 2 peeled peaches, diced
- 3 kiwis, diced
- ½ pint fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400ºF to prepare for baking the cinnamon chips.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon; set this mixture aside.
- Prepare Tortillas: Place the six flour tortillas on a cookie sheet. Brush each tortilla with the melted butter evenly, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over them.
- Cut Tortillas: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut each tortilla into six triangular pieces, similar to slicing a pie.
- Bake Chips: Bake the tortilla pieces in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until they are crispy. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
- Store Chips: The baked cinnamon chips can be made a few days in advance. Store them in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Prepare Honey Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the honey, fresh lemon juice, and strawberry (or raspberry) preserves. Mix well and set aside.
- Assemble Fruit Salsa: In a large serving bowl, combine the diced strawberries, mangos (or peaches), kiwis, and fresh blueberries. Pour the honey mixture over the fruit and gently stir to coat all the fruit evenly.
- Chill Salsa: Refrigerate the fruit salsa until ready to serve to let flavors meld and keep it fresh.
- Serve: Serve the chilled fruit salsa alongside the homemade cinnamon chips for dipping and enjoying.
Notes
- The cinnamon chips can be stored for a few days in an airtight container, making them great for advance preparation.
- For a different flavor, you can swap out strawberry preserves for raspberry preserves or any other seedless fruit preserves.
- Fruits can be varied based on seasonality and preference; peaches can replace mangos if preferred.
- Make sure to dice the fruits into small, bite-sized pieces to make serving and eating easier.
- This recipe is perfect for parties as a fun and healthy snack option.
