Fruit Salsa with Baked Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

Yield: 6 servings
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Fruit Salsa (see note below for fruit variations):

  • 1 cup small diced Granny Smith, Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples (about 2 medium or 1 large)
  • 1 cup small diced kiwi fruits, about 2-3 kiwis
  • 1 cup small diced strawberries
  • 1 cup small diced peaches or nectarines, about 1 large peach/nectarine
  • 2 tablespoons jam (see note)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange or lemon juice (see note)

Cinnamon Tortilla Chips:

  • 5-8 flour tortillas, I use the 8-inch size
  • Butter
  • Cinnamon and sugar

Instructions 

  • For the fruit salsa: Combine the chopped fruit in a serving bowl.
  • In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the jam and orange or lemon juice until combined. Pour the mixture over the fruit and stir to evenly coat the fruit.
  • Serve immediately (although it tastes better if it sits in the refrigerator for an hour or so).
  • For the baked cinnamon tortilla chips: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
  • Butter one side of each tortilla with about a teaspoon of butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar all the way to the edges. Stack three or so tortillas on top of each other and cut the stack into 8 triangles with a pizza cutter or knife. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Place the tortilla triangles cinnamon side up in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet(s) and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden. Let cool. Serve alongside the fruit salsa.

Notes

Jam: I prefer using berry jam in this recipe (in the photos, I used seedless black raspberry jam which makes the fruit salsa darker in color). Really any kind of jam that you like will work here - I've also used strawberry, red raspberry and even apricot.
Orange vs lemon juice: for a mildly sweet citrusy flavor, use orange juice. For a bit more tang and citrusy punch, go with the lemon. Or use half of each.
Fruit: I usually just eyeball the amounts of fruit - you want about 5-6 cups total. The fruit is obviously very easily altered to what you have on hand. I like using a combination of crisp and soft fruits. Other fruits I've used with good results are: blueberries, raspberries, mangos. But never bananas. Never, ever bananas.
