I am personally eager for salsa, and this Fruit Salsa isn’t alone; it comes with Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips. Making salsa is very easy, and it’s full of nutrition and flavor. However, making chips can be a bit challenging—at least, that’s what I thought before trying it. I don’t know which fruits you like, but I do know my favorites: kiwi, strawberries, and mango. I also like peaches, but I’ve already tried peach salsa separately, so I didn’t add peaches to this salsa. You can add fruits of your choice, like pineapple or grapes.
For toppings, you have three options: cilantro leaves, mint, or basil. My choice is mint because I love its fragrance, but I’m not making this just for myself, so I opted for cilantro leaves since many people prefer them over mint. Making tortilla chips wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. It’s easy if you use store-bought tortillas, but if you make them at home, it can be a bit more challenging.
Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries
- Ripe mango
- Ripe kiwi
- Lime (juiced)
- Freshly chopped cilantro (or substitute with basil or mint)
- Honey or agave nectar (optional, only if the fruit is not sweet enough)

- Whole wheat tortillas (homemade or store-bought)
- Butter (for brushing)
- Granulated sugar
- Ground cinnamon
How To Make Fruit Salsa
Preparing this salsa couldn’t be easier. Start by cutting all the fruit into small cubes and placing them in a serving bowl. To add a hint of citrus and balance the sweetness, squeeze in some lime juice. Taste the salsa, and if it needs a bit more sweetness, drizzle a little honey over the top. For garnish, you can choose between cilantro, mint, or basil, depending on your preference. Once the salsa is ready, you can move on to making the tortilla chips.
How To Make Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
I always use store bought tortillas but if you aren’t lazy like me and prefer a perfect homemade diet so you should make it on your own.
Cut the tortillas into triangles, depending on the size which you want. These triangles will become the cinnamon sugar chips.
To ensure the cinnamon sugar sticks, lightly brush each tortilla triangle with butter.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then lightly coat the tortilla triangles with the mixture.
Place the coated chips on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake them in a preheated oven for 3-5 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown. Then, Flip the chips over and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes to brown the other side.
