Ingredients for Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips

• 2 cups mixed fruit (such as strawberries, kiwi, mango, and pineapple)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice

• 1 tablespoon fresh mint (optional)
• 4 flour tortillas
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Butter or cooking spray (for brushing)

Step-by-Step Instructions

2. Mix the Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped fruit with lime juice, honey, and fresh mint (if using). Stir gently so as not to mush the fruit. Set this aside to allow the flavors to mingle.
3. Prepare the Tortilla Chips: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is warming, use butter or cooking spray to lightly coat both sides of each tortilla.
4. Add Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the sugar with cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over both sides of the tortillas after the butter or spray.
5. Bake the Chips: Cut each tortilla into wedges and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through.

Top Tips for Perfecting Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips

• Substitutions: Feel free to swap fruits based on what you have at home! Apples, berries, or even peaches work wonderfully as substitutes.
• Timing: For maximum freshness, prepare the fruit salsa no more than an hour before serving. This way, you enjoy the vibrant flavors and crispness at their best.
• Avoiding Common Mistakes: Don’t overload the fruit salsa with too much honey or lime juice—it can overpower the other flavors. Always taste and adjust according to your preference.

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you find yourself with leftovers (though that’s rare!), store the fruit salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about 1-2 days, but for optimal taste, enjoy it fresh! The tortilla chips are best eaten the same day; however, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature. Reheat them in a toaster oven for added crispiness if needed.
