Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced strawberries
- 1 cup diced kiwi
- 1 cup diced peaches
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 4 flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp stevia
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry all fresh fruits: strawberries, kiwi, and peaches to ensure cleanliness and remove any potential residue.
- Carefully dice strawberries, kiwi, and peaches into small, uniform bite-sized pieces, approximately 1/4 inch cubes, ensuring consistent texture throughout the salsa.
- Combine diced fruits in a medium mixing bowl, gently folding them together to prevent crushing the delicate fruit pieces.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixed fruits, which will help prevent browning and add a bright, citrusy flavor to the salsa.
- Cover the fruit mixture and refrigerate to allow flavors to meld while preparing the cinnamon chips.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Cut each flour tortilla into 8 wedge-shaped triangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, stevia, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Brush each tortilla triangle with the cinnamon-stevia butter mixture, ensuring even coating.
- Arrange coated tortilla triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, not overlapping.
- Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and crispy, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove cinnamon chips from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to crisp up further.
- Remove fruit salsa from refrigerator, give a gentle stir, and transfer to a serving bowl.
- Serve cinnamon chips alongside the fruit salsa, allowing guests to scoop and enjoy the fresh, sweet combination.
Tips
- Choose ripe, high-quality fruits for the most intense flavor profile
- Pat fruits completely dry after washing to prevent excess moisture in the salsa
- Use a sharp knife for precise, uniform fruit dicing
- Let the salsa chill for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld beautifully
- Watch cinnamon chips closely while baking to prevent burning
- For extra crispiness, ensure tortilla chips are spread in a single layer
- Serve immediately after preparing for the best texture and taste
- Experiment with different fruit combinations based on seasonal availability
