Tasty Fruit Salsa Served with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips
by Tommy Nopud

Description: This easy recipe is great for using seasonal fruit as a delicious light dessert.

Nothing beats a fresh, healthy, and vitamin loaded fruit salad, when you are feeling thirsty in the summertime. Here is a tasty fruit salsa recipe, served with delicious cinnamon tortilla chips. Can be served as an appetizer or snack.

Here is what you need:

2 peeled and diced kiwis
2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and diced
1 (8 ounce) package raspberries
1 pound strawberries
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 tablespoons fruit preserves
10 (10 inch) flour tortillas
butter flavored cooking spray
2 cups cinnamon sugar

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the kiwis, apples, raspberries, strawberries, white sugar, brown sugar and fruit preserves.

(Here's a great tip to save time chopping: get yourself an egg slicer (available on the kitchen aisle of most grocery stores). Just put the hard fruit in it and slice them and then turn the other way and slice again. It dices the fruit perfectly.)

Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Coat one side of each flour tortilla with butter flavored cooking spray. Cut into the wedges and arrange them in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle the wedges with the desired amount of cinnamon sugar.

Spray again with the cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven; 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with any remaining tortilla wedges. Allow to cool for approximately 15 minutes. Serve with the chilled fruit and spice mixture.

TIP: To cut back on the sweetness and juice, you can also select to use no sugar. Instead you can use orange marmalade for the preserves and peaches in place of the raspberries.

You can also replace the Golden Delicious apples with Fuji apples which have less tendency to turn brown.
