I first made these dessert chips & salsa for a summer potluck, and they quickly became the highlight of the evening! Guests were surprised by the chocolatey chips paired with bright fruit salsa, and everyone was asking for the recipe by the end.
Ingredients
- For the Chocolate Chips: 4 flour tortillas (8-inch), 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted), 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon (optional), pinch of salt
- For the Fruit Salsa: 1 cup fresh strawberries (diced), 1 medium kiwi (peeled and diced), ½ cup fresh pineapple (diced), ½ cup mango (diced), ½ small apple (diced), 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup, 1 tbsp fresh mint (finely chopped, optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make Cocoa-Sugar Mix:
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
- Brush and Sprinkle:
- Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter. Sprinkle the cocoa-sugar mixture evenly over both sides.
- Cut and Arrange:
- Stack the tortillas and cut them into 8 wedges each to form chips. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
