For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Feel free to experiment with other fruits in the salsa, such as pineapple, kiwi, or blueberries. If you don't have orange marmalade, you can use apricot jam or a similar fruit preserve. The fried tortillas can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness. For a vegan option, use plant-based ice cream and ensure your oil is vegan-friendly.
