Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Chips
- 1 cup (200 grams) white or cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 5 x 10 inch flour tortillas
- ¼ cup (60 ml) oil, or aquafaba (oil gives crispier results)
For the Strawberry Salsa
- 2 lb (907 grams) fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 small lime
- 3 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large handful fresh mint, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together until combined well. Set aside.
3. Place your tortillas in a neat pile, and with a sharp knife, cut the pile into quarters, then cut each quarter into 4 chip-sized wedges.
4. Lay the tortilla pieces out in a single layer on the lined baking trays and brush each one with a light coating of oil.
5. Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon sugar over each one then turn them over, brush with a little more oil and sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar. Alternatively, dip the oiled tortilla pieces into the cinnamon sugar for even coating.
6. Place in the oven and bake until bubbling, golden and crispy, about 12 minutes. Watch closely in the final minutes to prevent burning. Remove and cool completely on the tray.
7. Put the diced strawberries in a large bowl. Juice the lime and add it to the bowl along with the strawberry jam, vanilla, mint, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
8. Let the salsa sit for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
9. Serve the salsa with the cinnamon chips. The salsa is best served at room temperature.
Notes
Dessert Strawberry Salsa is best served on the day it’s made. Store leftover Cinnamon Chips in an airtight container. They will keep for a couple of weeks.
