Ingredients
Scale
For the Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
- 10 10″ flour tortillas
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
For the Fruit Salsa
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- 1 lemon
- 2 kiwis
- 1 lb strawberries
- 1/2 lb raspberries (optional)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp preserves (strawberry or raspberry)
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon thoroughly and set aside for later use.
- Coat Tortillas: Working with three tortillas at a time, lightly spray each side with non-stick cooking spray, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture on both sides. Stack the coated tortillas and cut them into 12 wedges each using a pizza cutter. Repeat the process with all tortillas.
- Bake Chips: Arrange the tortilla wedges on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 11-12 minutes or until the chips are crisp and lightly golden.
- Prepare Apples: Peel and finely chop the Granny Smith apples. Immediately squeeze two teaspoons of fresh lemon juice over the diced apples and toss to coat. This prevents browning and adds a fresh tang.
- Prepare Other Fruits: Finely dice the strawberries and kiwis. In a bowl, gently stir together the chopped apples, strawberries, kiwis, and, if using, the raspberries, allowing some raspberries to break down slightly for extra flavor.
- Add Sweetness: Mix in the brown sugar and preserves (strawberry or raspberry) to the fruit mixture, blending everything gently to combine the flavors.
- Serve: Serve the fruit salsa either at room temperature or chilled, accompanied by the warm cinnamon sugar tortilla chips. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- To keep the chips crisp, store them separately from the salsa.
- Raspberries are optional; they add a nice tartness but may break down and create a slightly pulpy texture.
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat for a healthier twist.
- Serve this salsa as a fun alternative to traditional dips at parties or as a light dessert.
- If you prefer a smoother salsa, pulse the fruit mixture lightly in a food processor.
