- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the chips.
- Cut the flour tortillas into triangles and arrange them on a baking sheet.
- Lightly brush each triangle with butter or spray with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the tortillas.

Best ways to enjoy it
Serving is where creativity shines! Plate your fruit salsa in a beautiful dish and add the cinnamon sugar chips around it for a stunning presentation. For extra flair, consider adding a sprig of mint on top. If you’re throwing a party, set up a DIY station where guests can build their own salsa and chip cones for a fun, interactive experience!
Storage and reheating tips
Should you have any leftovers, storing is easy! Keep the fruit salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Note that while the salsa stays good, the chips may lose their crispiness. If you want to savor the chips later, store them in a separate container at room temperature. You can refresh them in the oven for a few minutes if they become soft.
Helpful cooking tips
To ensure your fruit is perfectly ripe, consider shopping the day before you make this salsa. Fresh, seasonal fruit elevates the dish. If you’d like a fun variation, add a sprinkle of coconut flakes to the fruit mix or use flavored honey. Both add unique flavors that take your salsa to the next level!
Creative twists
Experimenting with variations can lead to exciting versions of your fruit salsa. Consider adding some diced jalapeño for a spicy kick or drizzle some balsamic glaze for a gourmet touch. You could swap the flour tortillas for corn ones for a gluten-free option or even try whole-grain tortillas for a healthier chip alternative.
Common questions
How long will the fruit salsa last?
When stored properly in an airtight container, the fruit salsa can last in the fridge for about 2 days.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the fruit salsa a few hours in advance, but it’s best to bake the chips fresh just before serving.
What fruits can I substitute?
Fruits like blueberries, peaches, or even citrus segments can work wonderfully in this recipe. Just aim to balance sweet and tart flavors!
