Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

For pot luck gatherings I like to make this. It is a twist on a fruit side dish or salad. The Cinnamon chips make it that much better. I am a big fan of cinnamon and sugar things!  I am bringing it to our 4th of July festivities this weekend. The best thing with this recipe is you can use any combination of fruit you want or have on hand.

This needs to be chilled for 6-24 hours before serving so plan ahead.
Fruit Salsa
1 cup finely chopped strawberries
1 Medium orange, peeled and finely chopped
3 kiwifruit, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple or one 8 ounce an crushed pineapple (juice drained)
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions (about two green onions)
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow or green sweet pepper
1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
Combine in bowl cover and chill for 6-24 hours. (If you plan to chill longer than 6 hours add the strawberries just before serving. they get soggy.) Serve with Cinnamon Chips

Cinnamon Tortilla Chips
Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon in shallow bowl. Brush 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine over twelve 7 or 8 inch flour tortillas. Cut each tortillas into 8 wedges (I use a pizza cutter) then sprinkle or dip the wedges in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating both sides. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10 min or until dry and crisp. Cool and serve. Store in an airtight container.
