Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips
- 10 10″ flour tortillas
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
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, stir together the cinnamon and sugar until well combined. Set the mixture aside for later use.
- Prepare the Tortilla Chips: Working with three tortillas at a time, lightly spray each side with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle each side generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Stack the tortillas and cut into 12 wedges using a pizza cutter. Repeat these steps for all tortillas.
- Bake the Chips: Arrange the prepared tortilla wedges on an ungreased baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 11-12 minutes, or until they become crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Prepare the Fruit Salsa: Peel and finely chop the Granny Smith apples, then toss them with two teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice to prevent browning. Finely dice the strawberries and kiwis. Gently combine all the diced fruit in a bowl, including raspberries if using. Add the brown sugar and preserves, stirring softly to mix without breaking the fruit.
- Serve and Store: The fruit salsa can be served immediately at room temperature or chilled in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Using lemon juice on apples prevents them from browning and maintains freshness.
- Raspberries can break up easily; gently mix to keep some texture.
- For extra crispiness, you can flip the tortilla chips halfway through baking.
- Serve the salsa with the chips as a sweet snack or light dessert.
- Preserves can be strawberry or raspberry to complement the fruit flavors.
