Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 small flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the chips: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for coating.
- Brush both sides of the tortilla wedges lightly with melted butter. Toss the wedges in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and lightly golden. Let them cool completely.
- Make the chocolate sauce: Place the chopped chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Stir the vanilla extract and powdered sugar into the melted chocolate until combined.
- In a medium bowl, gently fold the diced strawberries into the warm chocolate sauce. Do not overmix; you want the strawberries to remain chunky.
- Chill the chocolate strawberry salsa for at least 15 minutes to allow the sauce to set slightly.
- Serve the chilled salsa immediately with the cooled cinnamon chips for dipping.
Notes
- If you prefer a quicker chip option, use store-bought cinnamon sugar pita chips or lightly sweetened graham crackers for dipping.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
- If the salsa seems too thick after chilling, stir in one teaspoon of milk or cream to loosen it slightly.
