Description
A quick and easy after-school snack featuring crunchy cinnamon sugar tortilla chips served with a fresh, zesty fruit salsa. Ready in under 30 minutes with minimal active prep time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 small flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 medium mango, diced
- 1 cup pineapple, diced
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small shallow bowl, mix granulated sugar, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Melt the butter and brush one side of each tortilla generously with the melted butter.
- Cut each tortilla into 6 or 8 triangles.
- Dip each triangle into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating both sides, and place on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Watch closely after 6 minutes.
- While chips bake, combine diced mango, pineapple, strawberries, and red onion in a mixing bowl.
- Add lime juice and cilantro to the fruit mixture and toss gently to combine.
- Let the salsa sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Remove chips from oven and let cool completely on the pan to ensure crispness.
- Serve chips with the fruit salsa on the side for dipping.
Notes
Chips continue to crisp as they cool; do not eat immediately after baking. Store chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Salsa can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days. If using canned pineapple, drain thoroughly to prevent soggy chips.
