Fruity Salsa with Cinnamon Crisps

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.
