Ingredients for making fruit salsa and cinnamon chips on a counter top.

ready in minutes!

SALSA. Add chopped kiwis, strawberries, mango or melon, and blueberries to a large bowl. Add sugars and lime juice and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

PREP. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Set aside.

BRUSH. Brush flour tortillas with melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

CUT. Cut each tortilla into eight wedges, then cut off the tip and cut 3 more triangles from the top of the tortilla. Place on ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through baking time or just until crisp. Serve with fruit salsa.

Air fryer directions: If desired, crisp the tortillas up in an air fryer. Spread them in a single layer in the fry basket. Fry at 400°F for about 4 minutes.

Recipe Tips

Dice it small. Try your best to dice the fruit up into equal sizes. Our chunks were about the size of blueberries, or dice into finer pieces if desired.  

Fruit juice. The lime juice can be substituted with lemon juice and not only add flavor, but will help keep the fruit from browning. 

Flavor variations. For a contrast of flavor:

  • Stir in diced onion or jalapeno.
  • Sweeten with honey or maple syrup.
  • Sprinkle on poppy seeds.
  • Serve the salsa with plain or cinnamon graham crackers or cinnamon pita chips.

Cinnamon chip tips:

  • Use Homemade Tortillas or store-bought tortillas to make these Cinnamon Chips. 
  • Adjust the flavor of the Cinnamon Chips by adding other spices like nutmeg or ginger.
  • The easiest way to slice the tortillas is to use a pizza cutter. 
  • Underbaking the chips can cause them to be chewy.

Storing info

STORE. This Fruit Salsa will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Cinnamon Chips can be stored in a Ziploc bag for 4-5 days. Toss in a paper towel to help absorb any moisture that may cause the chips to soften. Or store chips in a brown paper bag.

FREEZE. Salsa can be frozen for up to 2 months, just note that it will take on a much softer texture. Thaw and drain excess juice before serving.

Recipe FAQ

What else can I serve with fruit salsa besides cinnamon chips?

You can serve this sweet salsa with pita chips, regular tortilla chips, or graham crackers. You can also serve it over pork, fish, or Angel Food Cake. There are several options!

How long does fruit salsa last?

I definitely recommend eating this while it’s fresh! Within 24 hours of being made, the fruit in the salsa starts to get a little soft and mushy. But it will last okay up to 3 days if you store it in the fridge.

    This stuff is seriously yummy! Used a cantaloupe this time, but I can’t wait to try it with mango as well. My whole family was crazy for it!
