Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- Try your best to dice the fruit into equal sizes for easy scooping. Our chunks were about the size of blueberries. Dice into finer pieces if desired.
- Chill the salsa at least 15 minutes so the flavors meld together.
- Serve with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips (our favorite), pita chips, regular tortilla chips, or graham crackers. You can also serve it over pork, fish, or Angel Food Cake.
- Flip the tortilla chips halfway through baking for even crisping. Watch closely near the end so the chips do not overbake.

I am an experienced baker and have made several of your recipes. Made the fruit salsa this morning, but not sure about “Cut each tortilla into eight wedges. Then cut off the tip and cut 3 more triangles from the top of the tortilla.” I ended up with very small chips. Please respond by posting a picture. Thank you.
