About this
We developed this Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips recipe after a friend asked for a fun, shareable dish to bring to a summer boating event—something that would earn her the title of “the cool aunt.” It’s simple, colorful, and guaranteed to impress. Food-focused conversations among friends often spark the best ideas, and this recipe is a perfect example.
As I’ve gotten older I appreciate recipes that are both straightforward and satisfying. This Summer Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Butter Tortilla Chips recipe fits the bill. While you can adapt it however you like, the basic salsa ingredients are:
- fresh strawberries
- kiwi
- navel orange
- fresh pineapple
- sugar
- lemon juice
This recipe is versatile: use seasonal fruit or whatever you have on hand. Chopped raspberries, cantaloupe, or blueberries all work well—feel free to mix and match. The fresh fruit pairs beautifully with the warm, sweet cinnamon chips.
The cinnamon butter tortilla chips are equally easy to make. For the chips you need:
- tortillas
- butter
- sugar
- cinnamon
If you prefer convenience, store-bought chips are an option, but homemade cinnamon butter tortilla chips deliver a superior flavor and are fun to prepare. The buttery, cinnamon-sugar coating complements the bright fruit salsa perfectly.

Substitutions and variations
For a lighter alternative or to add texture, serve the salsa with crunchy slices of fresh summer vegetables such as zucchini, summer squash, or cucumbers instead of—or alongside—the tortilla chips. You can also tailor the fruit mix to what’s ripe and available.
