Featured in: Sweet Little Treats

Chocolate tortilla chips are baked until crisp, then served alongside a colorful fruit salsa made with strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, mango, apple, and a splash of lime.

This playful pairing is simple to make and ideal for parties, potlucks, or a fun end to any meal. Easily customize the salsa with seasonal fruits or serve chips with whipped cream or yogurt. Vegetarian and adaptable for vegan or allergen-free preferences.
