Save A playful, sweet twist on the classic appetizer—crispy homemade chocolate tortilla chips served with a vibrant, refreshing fruit salsa. Perfect for parties or as an inventive finish to any meal.
I first made these dessert chips & salsa for a family movie night, and they were gone in minutes. The kids loved dipping the chocolaty chips into the fruity salsa, and even the adults were reaching for seconds.
Ingredients
- Chocolate Chips: 4 flour tortillas (8-inch), 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted), 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon (optional), pinch of salt

- Mix Cocoa Sugar:
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
- Butter & Sprinkle Tortillas:
- Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter. Sprinkle the cocoa-sugar mixture evenly over both sides.
- Cut & Arrange Chips:
