Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 2 medium kiwis, peeled and diced
  • 1 large mango, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar (optional)
  • 6 flour tortillas (6-inch size)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Wash all fresh fruit thoroughly. Hull and dice strawberries; peel and dice kiwi and mango into small, even pieces (about ½-inch cubes). Combine strawberries, kiwi, mango, and blueberries in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Finely chop fresh mint leaves and add to the fruit bowl. Squeeze 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice over the fruit. If your fruit is a little tart, drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey or agave. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Set aside to let the flavors marry for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  3. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir to mix evenly.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a pastry brush or spoon, lightly spread melted butter on one side of each flour tortilla. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered side.
  5. Stack the coated tortillas and cut into 6 or 8 wedges (like slicing a pizza). Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cinnamon sugar side up.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the chips are crisp and golden around the edges. Watch closely starting at 10 minutes to avoid burning. The chips crisp further as they cool.
  7. Let the chips cool completely on the baking sheet. Transfer the fruit salsa to a serving bowl and place alongside the cinnamon sugar chips for dipping.

Notes

To avoid soggy chips, drain excess fruit juice before serving. Prepare cinnamon sugar chips ahead and store in an airtight container for freshness. Use a sharp knife to cut tortillas before baking for even crispness. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas; for vegan, substitute butter with coconut oil or dairy-free margarine.
