I love using strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, and blueberries. These fruits not only taste great but also look colorful. You can mix and match based on what you find at the store. Seasonality matters too. In summer, berries are sweet and juicy. In winter, citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits can add a nice zing. Always choose ripe fruits for the best flavor. Adjust the sugar levels to your taste. If you like your chips sweeter, add a bit more sugar. If you prefer a light touch, reduce the sugar. Try using flavored sugars like vanilla or coconut. They can add a unique twist to your chips and make them even more special. For parties, serve the salsa in a big, bright bowl. This draws attention and adds fun to your table. Place the cinnamon sugar tortilla chips in a tall glass or a colorful basket. You can also layer the salsa and chips. Use clear cups to show off the layers. This makes a great snack for guests and keeps the colors popping. {{image_4}} You can add heat to your salsa for a fun twist. Try adding jalapeños or a dash of chili powder. Just chop them finely and mix them into the fruit. This will give your salsa a spicy kick that pairs well with the sweet fruits. If you like it hot, start with a small amount and taste as you go. For a refreshing change, substitute some fruits with mango or papaya. These tropical fruits add a sweet, rich flavor. They also bring a unique texture to the salsa. Mango’s sweetness and papaya’s softness will make every bite a treat. You can even mix in some coconut for an extra tropical vibe. Want some crunch? Try adding nuts or seeds into your salsa. Chopped almonds or walnuts work great. You can also use sunflower seeds for a nut-free option. This will add a nice texture and a boost of healthy fats. Just mix them in right before serving to keep them crunchy. For the full recipe, check out the Fruity Fiesta Salsa section. Store leftover salsa in a clean, airtight container. This keeps it fresh and tasty. The fridge is the best place for it. Fruit salsa stays good for about three days. After that, the fruits may get mushy. Always check for any strange smells or colors before eating. To keep the chips crispy, store them in a sealed bag or container. Avoid letting air inside, as it makes them soft. If you want to save chips for later, freezing is a great option. Just place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can last up to three months in the freezer. When you're ready to eat, bake them again to bring back the crunch. Enjoy your snack! For the full recipe, check the details above. Yes, you can use frozen fruit for the salsa. However, fresh fruit tastes best. If you use frozen fruit, thaw it first and drain excess liquid. This helps keep the salsa from getting watery. Frozen fruit may lack some crunch, but it will still taste great. You can make tortilla chips healthier by baking instead of frying. Use whole wheat tortillas for more fiber. You can also cut back on butter. Try using a light spray of olive oil instead. This change adds less fat and fewer calories while keeping the chips tasty. You can use several substitutes instead of granulated sugar. Try honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup. These natural sweeteners add flavor and sweetness. You can also use stevia or monk fruit for a low-calorie option. Adjust the amount to suit your taste. To add more flavor to the salsa, try adding spices like chili powder or cumin. You can also mix in diced jalapeños for heat. Fresh herbs like basil or cilantro work well, too. A splash of orange juice can enhance the taste, making it bright and fresh.

Ingredients
  

2 cups mixed fresh fruits (such as strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, and blueberries), diced into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (to taste)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

4 large flour tortillas

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, add the diced mixed fruits (strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, and blueberries).

    Incorporate the finely chopped fresh mint, honey (or agave syrup), and lime juice into the fruits. Gently toss the mixture with a spatula until all the ingredients are evenly combined and the fruit is coated. Set the bowl aside for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

      Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

        In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, mixing well to ensure even distribution.

          Take each flour tortilla and brush one side with the melted unsalted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the buttered side of each tortilla for a deliciously sweet coating.

            Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice each tortilla into triangles (about 6-8 pieces per tortilla). Arrange the triangles on a baking sheet, ensuring they are placed cinnamon sugar side up.

              Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

                Once baked, remove the tortilla chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.

                  Serve the vibrant fruity salsa in a bowl, alongside the warm cinnamon sugar tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy the colorful presentation and the delightful combination of flavors!
