Fruit Salsa With Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
“Fresh fruit salsa with homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips. Made with pineapples, strawberries, peaches, kiwi and red grapes! Perfect Spring snack or appetizer”
Watch me make this fruit salsa and cinnamon chips from start to finish!
So I’ve been slowly updating a few of my favorite recipes on this site and next up is this fruit salsa with cinnamon tortilla chips. This was one of the first recipes that I posted on Divas Can Cook. I made this recently for a family get-together and as always, there was none left over.
People simply adore this beautiful fruit salsa including me! It’s hands down one of my favorite spring/summer appetizers and snacks. When fresh fruit is plentiful, you can pretty much bet money that this fruit salsa is in my fridge. It’s heaven to come in after a long, hot summer day and cool off with a bowl of this stuff. It’s so doggone simple, refreshing and good!
Not to mention versatile! Besides using the fruit salsa with the cinnamon chips I also add it on top of my pancakes and on top of shortcake bars. And doesn’t it just scream bridal shower brunch?
You really can use whatever fruits you like but my hands-down FAVORITE pairing is pineapples, strawberries, peaches, kiwi and red grapes!! These fruits hold up well in the fridge and the juices blended together is amazing!!
Here are a few fruits that I’m not too fond of in fruit salsa:
Blueberries/Blackberries: They look beautiful but tend to “bleed” when punctured and end up tinting the whole salsa purple. If you’re serving to a lot of people who will be stirring the bowl and serving themselves I’d leave out the blueberries and blackberries.
Bananas: They get slimy and dark really fast.
Apples: They absorb the color of the darker fruits (strawberries) quickly making them look less appealing (in my opinion).
Hey, I’m just saying….
It can be pretty tedious to cut up all the fruit and prep & bake all of the cinnamon sugar tortillas but I promise it is worth it!! If you have a double oven and extra baking sheets NOW is the time to use them!
The cinnamon tortilla chips are HEAVEN! So crisp yet chewy! Be sure not to over bake. When they have that slight chewiness it’s everything I tell ya!!

Notes
I made this recipe for the 4th of July and it was a hit. Thanks for sharing, I will keep this one for sure
Thank you, Beautiful Monique, for this fun recipe. Recently, I started making fruit salad for weekend brunch at home (y’know, the first one was “Hey since you’re making fancy salmon omelettes I could cut up these 2 fruits we happen to have and add some of the jarred peaches to and that’s a cute salad/desert/side!”) It was so good, we did it again intentionally with some fruits bought for the purpose!
ANYWAY I told that story b/c I wanted to say how valuable your combo “dos and don’ts” make this recipe! Bananas are tasty in salad, but don’t mix them in, honey; you gotta slice them last and just plate them with the salad! As you say, bad for a buffet/any situation where people serve themselves! Berries can dye things, or get macerated into an unattractive pulp.
I’m Definitely keeping this in mind (use your combo, cut it smaller, serve with sweet chips!!!) for the next time I get invited to a cookout or somesuch! Delicious and Healthy (has sugar, BUT is basically whole-food deliciousness.)
Made this tonight to help with my super sweet tooth. Absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to make it for my mom’s birthday next weekend.
Thank you Monique!!
Yayy so glad you liked it!! I’m about to make me another batch today!
Did this recipe yesterday for my son bday. It was a hit for everyone. But thought i should inform everyone planning to do this it is quite time consuming. Also my oven went down so I substituted the tortilla chips for Stacey cinnamon pita chips.
It was quite delicious.
Thank you Monique for sharing this recipe.
