Ingredients
For the Fruit Salsa:
1 cup Ripe mango, diced
1 cup Strawberries, hulled and diced
1 medium Kiwi, peeled and diced
½ cup Pineapple, fresh or canned, drained and diced
¼ cup Red bell pepper, finely diced
2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
1-2 tablespoons Honey or agave syrup
A pinch of Fine sea salt
For the Cinnamon Chips:
6-8 Small flour tortillas (approx. 6-inch)
¼ cup Unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup Granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Prepare the Fruit Salsa: In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced mango, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, and red bell pepper. Add the sliced mint, lime juice, honey, and a tiny pinch of salt. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
2. Make the Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly.
3. Prepare the Tortillas: Cut each tortilla into 6-8 wedges.
4. Coat the Chips: Brush both sides of each tortilla wedge with melted butter and dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
5. Cook the Chips (Stovetop Method): Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the wedges in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
6. Cook the Chips (Oven Method): Alternatively, bake at 375°F (190°C) on a parchment-lined sheet for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
7. Serve: Spoon the fruit salsa into a bowl and serve alongside the warm cinnamon chips.
Notes
Pro-Tips:
• Dice fruit uniformly into ¼-inch pieces for the best texture.
• Do not skip the lime juice and salt; they enhance the natural sweetness of the fruit.
• If fruit is not perfectly ripe, add extra honey to the salsa.
• Store cinnamon chips in an airtight container; if they soften, briefly re-crisp in a skillet.
Variations:
• Swap mango for peaches, blueberries, or diced apple.
• For an autumnal twist, use pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon.
• Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free chip.
