Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips
Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips is a sweet twist on the classic appetizer of chips and salsa. Fresh strawberries, kiwi, blackberries, and green apple are blended with orange juice for a fresh fruit dip. Then, homemade cinnamon flavored tortilla chips are added to the side for a delicious healthy treat!
I always keep our refrigerator stocked with plenty of fresh fruit. The other day I realized that we had quite an abundance of it. Initially I was going to make a fruit salad, but when I saw the pack of tortillas in the fridge, I came up with a new plan: Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips.
After making Peach Salsa and Watermelon Salsa last month, I was inspired! So, I diced up a bunch of fruit in a bowl and added in some juice. Then, quickly made the cinnamon chips. It was so quick and easy to make and the fruit salsa and cinnamon chip recipe was a huge hit with the kids!

How do I make the Cinnamon Chips?
These cinnamon chips are so delicious! It is hard to believe that they take less than 15 minutes to make.
Step 1: Prepare the Tortillas
First, preheat the oven 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray. Then, place tortillas on a cutting board and use a pizza cutter to cut into triangles. Each tortilla should be cut into 6 triangular slices. The tortillas can be stacked and you can cut 2 or 3 at at a time.
Step 2: Add Butter Mixture, Bake and Enjoy!
With a basting brush, spread butter, cinnamon and sugar mixture onto the tortilla triangles. Place them on a baking sheet and place them in the oven on the center rack. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until tortillas start to lightly brown. Remove from oven and enjoy Cinnamon Chips with Fruit Salsa.
Can I store the Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips?
Yes, the fruit salsa can stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The tortillas can be stored in ziplock bag or covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Are there any variations to the Fruit Salsa?
Absolutely! This is a simple recipe that can be changed up I a variety of different ways. Here are a few simple ideas.
- Different Fruit: I used the fruit that I had on hand in my refrigerator when I made this. I think just about any other fruit would tase delicious in it though. Sliced grapes, halved cherries and diced mango are just a few ideas The only one I would avoid is banana because it browns so quickly and may be come to mushy in the salsa.
- Juice: I used the juice of an orange, but lime or lemon juice would taste good as well. You could even use apple juice or cranberry juice in this recipe.
- Sweetener: I used sugar in the butter and cinnamon combo. However, you could use the sweetener of your choice like maple syrup, honey of agave nectar.
Could I use something else for dipping in the fruit salsa?
Yes, of course! The cinnamon chips are a quick and easy item to make to go with it. However, if you do not have time or are out of tortillas, here are a few suggestions to try:
- Pretzels
- Crackers
- Pita Chips
- Add the fruit salsa on top of Greek Yogurt
