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 pieces. Combine the diced peaches, mango, kiwis, and strawberries in a large bowl.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the fresh lemon juice and honey. Pour this mixture over the chopped fruit and toss well to coat. Refrigerate the fruit salsa to chill and allow flavors to meld.
- Preheat Oven & Prepare Sugar Mixture: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar.
- Prepare Tortillas: Lightly spray both sides of the tortillas with coconut oil cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Sprinkle each tortilla generously with the cinnamon sugar. Stack the tortillas and cut them into triangle-shaped chips.
- Bake Cinnamon Chips: Arrange the tortilla triangles on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350°F, flipping the chips halfway through baking to ensure even crispness and golden edges.
- Finish and Serve: Stir the chopped fresh basil into the chilled fruit salsa. Serve the fruit salsa alongside the warm cinnamon chips for a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.
Notes
- For a lower sugar option, reduce the honey and sugar amounts or substitute with agave syrup or maple syrup.
- Use gluten-free or grain-free tortillas to make this dessert gluten-free.
- Fresh basil adds a unique flavor but can be omitted or substituted with mint if preferred.
- Make sure to watch the chips closely in the oven to avoid burning, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- This fruit salsa is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
