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 strawberry or raspberry preserves
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar until well combined. Set aside.
- Prepare Tortilla Chips: Working with three tortillas at a time, lightly spray each side with non-stick cooking spray. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously on both sides of each tortilla. Stack the coated tortillas and cut into 12 wedges using a pizza cutter. Repeat this process for all tortillas.
- Bake 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 the chips are crisp and slightly golden.
- Prepare Fruit Salsa Base: Peel and finely chop the Granny Smith apples. Immediately squeeze two teaspoons of lemon juice over the chopped apples to prevent browning, then toss to coat evenly.
- Combine Fruits: Finely dice the strawberries and kiwis. Gently combine the diced apples, strawberries, kiwis, and raspberries (if using) in a bowl. Note that raspberries may break down slightly, which is normal.
- Add Sweeteners: Stir in the brown sugar and preserves to the mixed fruit gently, blending the flavors together without crushing the fruit.
- Serve and Store: The fruit salsa can be served immediately at room temperature or chilled for enhanced flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Raspberries are optional; they will break down and add natural sweetness and texture to the salsa.
- For extra crispness, allow cinnamon sugar chips to cool completely on the baking sheet after baking.
- Use preserves of your choice, such as strawberry or raspberry, to complement the fruit flavors.
- Serving the salsa chilled enhances the refreshing taste, but it is also delicious at room temperature.
- To prevent the fruit from browning, coat the apples with lemon juice immediately after cutting.
