Instructions

Preheat oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the tortilla chips.
Mix cinnamon-sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly mixed.
Prepare tortillas: Brush both sides of each flour tortilla with melted butter, ensuring complete coverage for flavor and crispiness.
Apply cinnamon-sugar: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on both sides of each tortilla to coat them with a sweet, spiced layer.
Cut tortillas: Slice each tortilla into wedges, similar to pizza slices, to create chip-sized pieces for easy serving.
Bake the chips: Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Cool chips: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely, which helps them crisp up further.
Prepare salsa: In a bowl, gently combine diced strawberries, mango, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and honey if using; mix carefully to avoid breaking the fruit.
Chill salsa: Refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes to meld all the flavors together before serving.
Serve: Present the chilled fruit salsa alongside the cooled cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips as a sweet and tangy appetizer.

Notes

You can prepare both the salsa and chips up to one day in advance to save time before serving.
For a sweet-and-spicy twist, try adding diced jalapeño or a pinch of chili powder to the salsa.
