Fruit Salsa Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and finely chopped
- 1 kiwi, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 green apple, cored and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit Salsa: Wash and finely chop the strawberries, kiwi, green apple, and carefully measure the blueberries and raspberries. Combine all the fruits gently in a medium bowl to maintain their shape and freshness.
- Mix the Flavor Enhancers: In a small bowl, stir together the lime juice, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is aromatic. Pour this over the chopped fruit and toss gently to coat all pieces lightly without making the salsa mushy.
- Make the Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips: Cut the flour tortillas into small triangles. Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla piece with melted butter or neutral oil. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the tortilla pieces. Arrange the triangles on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until they are crisp and golden, flipping halfway through baking to ensure even crispiness.
- Assemble and Serve: Transfer the fruit salsa into a serving bowl and place the warm cinnamon sugar tortilla chips on the side. Enjoy this colorful, flavorful combination fresh and warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Choose fresh, ripe but firm fruit for the best taste and texture.
- Adjust the cinnamon and sugar ratio on the chips according to your sweetness and spice preference.
- Toss the fruit salsa gently to avoid releasing excess juice and becoming soggy.
- Flip the tortilla chips halfway through baking for consistent crispness.
- Serve the cinnamon sugar chips immediately after baking for optimal crunchiness.
