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 (for juice)
- 2 kiwis
- 1 lb strawberries
- 1/2 lb raspberries (optional)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp preserves (strawberry or raspberry)
Instructions
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the cinnamon and sugar together. Set this mixture aside for later use in coating the tortilla chips.
- Coat and cut the tortillas: Take three tortillas at a time, spray both sides lightly with non-stick cooking spray, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over each side. Stack the coated tortillas and cut into 12 wedges with a pizza cutter. Repeat this process for all tortillas.
- Bake the tortilla chips: Arrange the coated 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 golden.
- Prepare the fruit salsa base: Peel and finely chop the Granny Smith apples. Immediately squeeze two teaspoons of lemon juice over the diced apples to prevent browning, and toss to coat evenly.
- Chop the remaining fruits and combine: Finely dice the strawberries and kiwis. Gently fold these together with the apples and, if using, the raspberries. Add the brown sugar and preserves, mixing carefully to maintain some texture, as the raspberries may break up slightly.
- Serve and store: The fruit salsa can be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Using Granny Smith apples provides a tart contrast that balances the sweetness of the other fruits.
- Raspberries are optional; they add a burst of color and flavor but may cause the salsa to be juicier.
- For a crispier chip, spread the tortilla wedges in a single layer without overlapping before baking.
- The salsa can be customized with additional fruits like mango or blueberries if desired.
- This recipe makes a great healthy snack or party appetizer, perfect for kids and adults alike.
