Ingredients
- Tortillas
- Cinnamon
- Granulated Sugar
- Apples
- Lime Juice
- Red Onion
- Cilantro
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Cinnamon Chips: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While waiting for it to heat up, cut each tortilla into triangles. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the tortilla triangles on both sides.
- Step 2: Bake the Chips: Bake the prepared tortilla pieces in your preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them—no one wants burnt chips! Once done, remove them from the oven and set aside to cool slightly while you whip up that fabulous salsa.
- Step 3: Make Fresh Apple Salsa: While the chips cool down, grab your apples! Dice them into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl. Add finely chopped red onion, cilantro, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Gently mix all ingredients together until well combined—this salsa should sing with freshness!
- Step 4: Taste Test & Adjust Flavors: This step is crucial! Take a spoonful of your salsa and taste it. Does it need more lime juice? Maybe some extra cilantro? Adjust accordingly until you achieve that perfect balance between sweet, zesty, and savory flavors!
- Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!: Your delicious cinnamon chips are now ready to be paired with that vibrant fresh apple salsa! Serve everything on a beautiful platter—don’t forget to take pictures before diving in because this dish deserves its Instagram moment!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover cinnamon chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days to maintain their crispness. If you want to enjoy your chips warm again, pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes—this will revive their crunch! For a delightful presentation, serve the cinnamon chips in a colorful bowl alongside the fresh apple salsa on a rustic platter, allowing guests to dip and enjoy at their leisure. To enhance the flavor of your salsa, don’t hesitate to experiment with additional ingredients like diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of salt to elevate the sweet and zesty profile!
