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, stir together the cinnamon and sugar until well combined, then set aside.
- Prepare Tortilla Chips: Working with three tortillas at a time, spray each side lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle each side generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Stack the tortillas together and cut into 12 wedges using a pizza cutter. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Bake the Chips: Place the prepared tortilla wedges on an ungreased baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 11-12 minutes or until crisp and golden.
- Prepare the Apples: Peel and finely chop the Granny Smith apples. Squeeze two teaspoons of lemon juice over the diced apples to prevent browning, then toss to coat evenly.
- Dice Other Fruits: Finely dice the strawberries and the kiwis. If using, gently add the raspberries, knowing they will break up slightly, contributing to the salsa’s texture and flavor.
- Combine Salsa Ingredients: In a bowl, gently stir together the chopped apples, strawberries, kiwis, raspberries (if used), brown sugar, and preserves until thoroughly mixed.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the fruit salsa immediately at room temperature or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Raspberries are optional and will add a softer texture as they break down in the salsa.
- For extra crisp chips, ensure they are spaced apart on the baking sheet.
- Use fresh and ripe fruit for the best flavor in your salsa.
- The preserves add a subtle sweetness and help bind the salsa ingredients together.
- Let the chips cool completely after baking to retain crispiness.
