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. Set 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 the cinnamon sugar mixture generously on both sides of each tortilla. Stack the coated tortillas and cut them into 12 wedges using a pizza cutter. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
- Bake the chips: Arrange the 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 are crisp and golden brown. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
- Prepare the fruit salsa: Peel and finely chop the Granny Smith apples. Squeeze roughly two teaspoons of fresh lemon juice over the chopped apples to prevent browning, then toss gently to coat.
- Combine fruits: Finely dice the strawberries and kiwis. In a bowl, gently stir together the diced apples, strawberries, kiwis, raspberries (if using), brown sugar, and preserves. Note that the raspberries may break down slightly, which adds to the flavor and texture.
- Serve: Serve the fruit salsa either at room temperature or chilled according to preference. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Using Granny Smith apples adds a nice tartness to balance the sweetness of the salsa.
- The raspberries are optional but provide a lovely color contrast and flavor depth.
- The salsa can be made ahead and chilled for an hour or two to allow flavors to meld.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute with gluten-free tortillas.
- Be careful not to overbake the chips, as they can become too hard.
- Feel free to substitute preserves with a fruit jam of your choice for varied flavor profiles.
