Fruity Salsa with Cinnamon Crisps
⏱️ Prep Time: 15 minutes • 🍳 Cook Time: 12 minutes
This Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Chips is my not-so-secret weapon for potlucks, brunches, or anytime I want to serve something a little unexpected (but still totally crowd-pleasing). It’s fresh, juicy fruit tossed in lime juice and a touch of honey, served with warm, crispy cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips. Basically, a fruit salad met a churro chip and they became besties.
Colorful chopped fruit salsa served in a bowl with golden cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips on the side for dipping.
The thing I love most about this recipe is that it feels familiar and fun at the same time. Everyone’s had salsa and chips, but throw in strawberries, kiwi, and a hint of lime—and suddenly it’s a whole new game. It looks super impressive on a grazing board or summer snack spread, but it’s totally low-effort. And kids love it.
You can easily make both components ahead of time. I like to chop the fruit in the morning and store it in the fridge, then bake the chips just before serving so they’re warm and crispy. If you’re short on time, store-bought cinnamon pita chips work in a pinch—but the homemade ones really take it over the top. Plus, your kitchen will smell amazing while they bake.
This combo is also perfect for a DIY snack bar—just set out bowls of chopped fruit and a big batch of chips, and let everyone scoop their own. It's festive, customizable, and honestly one of those dishes that disappears way too fast (so double it, always).
