Cook techniques
Preparing Fruit
Chop the fruit into small, even pieces to ensure uniform distribution in the salsa. This enhances the texture and flavor experience.
Mixing Flavors
Gently toss the diced fruit with lime juice and any additional seasonings to allow the flavors to meld without breaking down the fruit too much.

Cut tortillas into triangles, then brush them lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking until crispy.
Baking Tips
Bake the cinnamon chips at a high temperature to achieve the desired crispiness without them becoming overly browned.
