Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option. If you’re short on time, pre-packaged fruit salsa can be used instead of chopping fresh fruits. Adjust the cinnamon and sugar to your taste — you can even add a touch of vanilla for extra flavor. This recipe is great for utilizing leftover tortillas from other Mexican recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cinnamon tortillas warm alongside the fruit salsa for a delightful dessert or snack. They are also delicious with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. For a festive touch, consider adding a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of nuts on top. This dish pairs beautifully with black beans and yellow rice for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover tortillas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes until warm and crispy again. The fruit salsa can be kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in a sealed container.
