Ingredients
  

Cinnamon Chips

  • 1 cup 200 g white or cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 5 10-inch flour tortillas
  • ¼ cup oil or aquafaba for a lighter option

Strawberry Salsa

  • 2 pounds 907 g fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 small lime
  • 3 tablespoons strawberry jam
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large handful fresh mint finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line two large baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In a small bowl, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon.
  • Stack the tortillas and cut them into quarters, then cut each quarter into four wedges.
  • Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer on the baking trays.
  • Lightly brush both sides with oil or aquafaba.
  • Coat each tortilla wedge generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Bake for about 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  • Watch carefully during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
  • Allow the chips to cool completely on the baking trays.
  • Make the Strawberry Salsa
  • Place the diced strawberries into a large mixing bowl.
  • Juice the lime and add the juice to the strawberries.
  • Stir in the strawberry jam, vanilla extract, chopped mint, and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Mix gently until everything is evenly combined.
  • Let the salsa rest for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Serve
  • Transfer the Dessert Strawberry Salsa with Cinnamon Chips to a serving bowl.
  • Arrange the crispy cinnamon chips alongside the salsa.
  • Serve at room temperature for the freshest flavor.

Notes

  • Prepare the salsa shortly before serving for the freshest texture.
  • Store the cinnamon chips separately to keep them crisp.
  • A drizzle of honey or melted white chocolate makes an elegant finishing touch.
  • Garnish with extra mint leaves and lime zest for a beautiful presentation.
