Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips
The first time I had this was in college and we had "snacks" for one of our dietetic classes. I love bringing this to family parties during the summertime. Most of the time, I don't have anything left to bring home. I adapted this recipe from Annie's Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips. I usually make the salsa from whatever fruit I can get in season.
Fruit Salsa:
2 apples, diced
1 lb strawberries, diced
8 oz raspberries (or a combination of any kind of berry in season)
2 kiwis, peeled and diced (or peaches or plums or whatever fruit you like)
Cinnamon Chips:
10 (10 inch) whole-wheat tortillas
Butter-flavored cooking spray
Cinnamon-sugar mixture (see note at end)
1. For fruit salsa: mix all fruit together in bowl. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
2. For cinnamon chips: Preheat oven 350.
3. Using the cooking spray, coat one tortilla on both sides. Cut into wedges and dredge each wedge in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Arrange the cinnamon-sugar wedges in a single layer on a cooking sheet. Repeat with all tortillas.
4. Bake in preheated oven 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool 15 minutes. Serve with chilled fruit salsa.
Note: Cinnamon-sugar mixture: 1/2 T cinnamon combined with 1/2 C white sugar. This is the ratio I use so that it isn't over "cinnamon-y" due to personal preference. Save extra in air-tight container or Ziploc bag.
