Ingredients
Scale
Salsa Ingredients
- 1 pint (16 oz.) strawberries, diced
- 2 large mangoes, diced
- 4 kiwi fruit, diced
- 1/2 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Juice of 1 lime
Cinnamon-Sugar Tortilla Chips
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 flour tortillas
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Salsa: Dice the strawberries, mangoes, and kiwi into small, even pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the diced fruits with the minced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Stir gently until all ingredients are well incorporated. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture and Tortilla Chips: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly. Lightly spray each flour tortilla with nonstick cooking spray to help the cinnamon-sugar adhere.
- Assemble and Bake Chips: Sprinkle each tortilla evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each tortilla into eighths to form chip-sized wedges. Place the wedges on two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, spreading them out in a single layer.
- Bake and Cool: Bake the tortilla wedges in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are crisp and lightly golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and transfer the chips to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps maintain their crispness.
- Serve: Serve the cooled cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips alongside the fresh strawberry mango salsa for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra heat, leave some jalapeno seeds in or add more jalapeno gradually to taste.
- Use ripe mangoes and kiwis for maximum sweetness and flavor in the salsa.
- Ensure the cinnamon-sugar coating is evenly applied to each tortilla piece for consistent taste.
- Allow tortilla chips to cool completely before serving to prevent sogginess.
- This recipe is perfect for a light snack, party appetizer, or a refreshing summer treat.
