Instructions

Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar; set aside for later use to sprinkle on the chips.
Make Cinnamon Chips: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the flour tortillas on a cookie sheet and brush both sides generously with the melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over each tortilla.
Cut Tortillas: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice each tortilla into 6 pie-shaped pieces, creating the chip shapes before baking.
Bake Chips: Bake the cinnamon chips in the preheated oven for 12 minutes until they are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack to maintain crispness.
Prepare Fruit Salsa Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lemon juice, and strawberry or raspberry preserves until smooth. Set aside.
Combine Fruit: In a large serving bowl, add all the prepared fruit pieces: strawberries, mangoes or peaches, kiwis, and blueberries.
Toss Salsa: Pour the honey mixture over the fruit and gently stir to combine all flavors, being careful not to mash the fruit.
Chill Salsa: Cover the fruit salsa and refrigerate it until ready to serve, ideally within two to three hours to enjoy fresh flavors and optimal texture.
Serve: Serve the chilled fruit salsa alongside the crispy homemade cinnamon chips for dipping and enjoying.

Notes

Fruit salsa can be customized with other fruits like apples, raspberries, blackberries, or nectarines according to preference.
Use a basting brush to evenly coat tortillas with melted butter for easier preparation.
Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat helps prevent sticking but be cautious when cutting chips with a pizza cutter on a mat.
If preserves are unavailable, substitute with the same amount of brown sugar or double the honey for sweetness.
Cinnamon chips can be prepared in advance and stored in an airtight container for several days while retaining their crispness.
