Ingredients
Fruit salsa
- 1½ cups fresh strawberries (cut into small cubes)
- 1½ cups ripe mango (cut into small cubes)
- 1½ cups ripe kiwi (cut into small cubes)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 1 handful freshly chopped cilantro (or sub basil or mint)
- a few drops honey or agave nectar (optional, only needed if fruit is not sweet enough)
Cinnamon sugar tortilla chips
- 8 (whole wheat) tortillas (homemade* or store bought)
- a few tbsp coconut oil (for brushing)
- 2-3 tbsp (coconut) sugar (or use regular granulated sugar)
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Fruit salsa
- Cut all the fruit in small cubes. Add them to a serving bowl together with a few tsp of lime juice to it to balance out the sweetness. Gently stir to combine it all. Taste the salsa to see if it is sweet enough or if it needs more lime juice. If not sweet enough, add just a few drops of honey or agave nectar.
- Garnish the fruit salsa with a few cilantro leaves.
Cinnamon sugar tortilla chips
- Preheat the oven to 350F/175C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Cut the tortillas in 6 or 8 triangles depending on how big the tortillas are.
- Lightly grease the triangles by brushing them with coconut oil. Just a little bit so the cinnamon sugar will stick to it.
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Now lightly coat the triangles with the cinnamon sugar.
- Arrange the coated chips on the parchment lined baking tray and slide the tray in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes until the bottom of the chips are golden brown. Take the tray out of the oven, flip the chips over and put the tray back into the oven to bake the other side of the chips for another 2-3 minutes.
- Let the cinnamon sugar chips cool off for 5-10 minutes before serving it together with the fruit salsa.
