Ingredients
Strawberry Mango Salsa
- 1 pint (16 oz.) strawberries, diced
- 2 large mangoes, diced
- 4 kiwi fruit, diced
- 1/2 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 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 Strawberry Mango Salsa: Dice the strawberries, mangoes, and kiwi into small, bite-sized pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the diced fruits with the minced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, and fresh lime juice. Stir gently until all ingredients are well mixed and flavors meld together.
- Preheat the Oven for the Chips: Set your oven to preheat at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) while you prepare the tortilla chips.
- Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, blend together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly, ensuring an even mix for sprinkling.
- Prepare the Tortilla Chips: Lightly spray each flour tortilla with nonstick cooking spray on both sides. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over each tortilla, ensuring a good coverage for a sweet and spiced flavor.
- Slice and Arrange Tortillas: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each tortilla into 8 wedges (totaling 32 chips). Lay the wedges flat on two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone mats, making sure they are not overlapping to allow even baking.
- Bake the Tortilla Chips: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chips are crispy and slightly golden at the edges. Keep an eye to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve the crispy cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips alongside the fresh strawberry mango salsa for dipping.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of jalapeno to your preferred spice level or omit for a milder salsa.
- For gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
- Use ripe mangoes and kiwi for the best sweetness and flavor.
- Let the cinnamon-sugar chips cool completely to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Store leftover salsa separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
