We had taquitos, a seven layer dip and this yummy fruit salsa with baked cinnamon chips that I will share with you today. The fruit salsa is especially pertinent for this week because it uses lots of strawberries and this strawberry jam that I showed you how to make last time...But if you don't have time to make the jam, you can just use any strawberry jam or preserves. This recipe would be perfect for any party or shower or brunch! It's a wonderful, low-sugar dessert. The baked cinnamon chips are really good plain for an after school or midnight snack. I've made them with pre-made store-bought tortillas and homemade whole-wheat tortillas and they are great either way. Enjoy!
Fruit Salsa
*NOTE: As a variation, use different kinds of fruit.
*Serves 10-12
INGREDIENTS:
2 kiwis, peeled and diced
2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and diced
1 large ripe mango, diced
1 lb. strawberries, diced
1 Tbsp. white sugar (optional)
1 Tbsp. brown sugar (optional)
3 Tbsp. strawberry jam
DIRECTIONS:
In a medium bowl, mix kiwis, apples, mango, strawberries, sugars (optional) and strawberry jam. Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 15 minutes and not more than 8 hours or the salsa will get too runny. Serve with baked cinnamon chips.
Baked Cinnamon Chips
*NOTE: These cinnamon chips can be made sugar free by sprinkling with plain cinnamon instead of cinnamon sugar.
*Serves 10-12
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 Cup white sugar
1/2 Tbsp. cinnamon
10 (10 inch) flour tortillas (for a healthy alternative use these yummy homemade whole-wheat tortillas)
1/4 - 1/2 Cup melted butter
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with canola oil. In a small bowl, mix the white sugar and cinnamon to make cinnamon sugar. Using a pizza cutter, cut the tortillas into wedges into desired size and shape. Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. Coat top of the flour tortillas only with melted butter. Sprinkle tortillas with desired amount of cinnamon sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes. Repeat with any remaining tortilla wedges. Allow to cool completely, approximately 15 minutes. Serve with fruit salsa.
