Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Salsa
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and diced
- 1 red apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 6 ounces raspberries
- ½ cup blueberries
- 3 tablespoons strawberry preserves (or raspberry preserves)
Cinnamon Chips
- 5 8-inch flour tortillas
- Non-stick cooking spray
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash all the fruit thoroughly and dice the strawberries and apple into similarly sized pieces for uniform texture and presentation.
- Combine the Fruit with Preserves: Place all the diced fruit, along with whole raspberries and blueberries, into a mixing bowl. Add the strawberry or raspberry preserves and gently toss everything together until well coated.
- Let the Salsa Rest: Allow the fruit salsa mixture to sit for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld and the preserves to slightly soften the fruit.
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare Sugar Mixture: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with ground cinnamon; set aside.
- Cut the Tortillas: Using a pizza cutter, slice each 8-inch flour tortilla into triangle shapes, similar to pizza slices.
- Arrange and Season the Chips: Lay the tortilla triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Lightly spray them with non-stick cooking spray to help the sugar adhere, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top.
- Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the tortilla chips for 10 to 11 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. Serve alongside the fruit salsa for dipping.
Notes
- For best texture, dice fruits into similar sizes to ensure even flavor in each bite.
- You can substitute the tortilla chips with pita chips or baked naan for a different twist.
- Letting the salsa sit enhances the melding of flavors, but it can also be served immediately if needed.
- The cinnamon sugar can be adjusted according to your sweetness preference.
- Store leftover salsa and chips separately to maintain crispiness.
