A refreshing and vibrant dish, perfect for summer gatherings, combining a colorful mix of fruits with crispy, sweet tortilla chips.
Ingredients
For the tortilla chips
- 10 pieces 10 (10") flour tortillas Can substitute with corn tortillas for gluten-free option.
- 1 can Non-stick cooking spray
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon For a spicier flavor, add a dash of chili powder.
For the fruit salsa
- 2 pieces Granny Smith apples Toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- 1 piece lemon Juice used to prevent browning of apples.
- 2 pieces kiwis Substitute with peaches or mangoes if desired.
- 1 lb strawberries Chop into small pieces.
- 1/2 lb raspberries (optional)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp preserves (strawberry or raspberry) Can substitute with agave syrup for vegan option.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon, then set aside.
- For the tortilla chips, lightly spray each side of three tortillas with cooking spray. Generously sprinkle them with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Stack the tortillas and slice into 12 wedges using a pizza cutter. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
Baking the Chips
- Arrange the tortilla wedges on an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 11-12 minutes or until they’re crisp and golden.
Making the Salsa
- While the chips are baking, peel and finely chop the Granny Smith apples, squeezing two teaspoons of lemon juice over the diced apples to prevent browning.
- Finely dice the strawberries and kiwis, then gently toss them with the apples. If you’re using raspberries, add them in as well.
- To finish the salsa, stir in the brown sugar and preserves, mixing gently to combine everything.
Serving
- Serve your salsa at room temperature, or chill it in the refrigerator for a refreshing twist.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Tortilla chips can be stored separately at room temperature for about a week. Reheat chips in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
