Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Salsa
- 2 peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 mango, peeled, cored, and diced
- 4 kiwis, peeled and diced
- 16 oz strawberries, hulled and diced
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice (juice of half a lemon)
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Cinnamon Chips
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 10 tortillas (flour, gluten-free, or grain-free)
- Coconut oil cooking spray or melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Peel and chop all the fruit into small, bite-sized pieces. Combine them in a large mixing bowl to create the base of the salsa.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice and honey. Pour this mixture over the chopped fruit and toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly. Refrigerate the fruit salsa to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Chips: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a separate bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar blend.
- Prepare Tortilla Chips: Lightly spray both sides of the tortillas with coconut oil cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Stack the tortillas and cut them into triangles to form chip shapes.
- Bake the Cinnamon Chips: Arrange the tortilla triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through baking to ensure even crisping and browning.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the fruit salsa from the fridge, stir in the chopped fresh basil, and mix gently. Serve chilled alongside the warm, crunchy cinnamon chips for dipping.

- Adjust the sugar in the cinnamon blend to taste depending on your sweetness preference.
- The cinnamon chips can also be made using gluten-free or grain-free tortillas to accommodate dietary restrictions.
