Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips
Description
This recipe blends a combination of fresh fruit—raspberries, strawberries, cantaloupe, and apples—into a salsa-like mixture. The fruit is mixed with lemon zest and juice to add brightness and tartness, while seedless raspberry jam adds sweetness and helps bind the salsa together. The fruit pieces are cut small to ensure a harmonious texture.
The accompanying cinnamon sugar chips are made by brushing flour tortillas with non-stick cooking spray, sprinkling a mixture of sugar and ground cinnamon on both sides, then cutting and baking them until they develop light browning around the edges. The chips offer a crisp and sweet counterpart to the fresh, juicy fruit salsa.
Serve the fruit salsa chilled with the cinnamon chips on the side for dipping. This combination is suitable as a light snack or a fresh dessert and highlights the contrast between the cool fruit and warm, gently spiced chips.
