FRUIT SALSA WITH CINNAMON TORTILLA CHIPS
The fun of this recipe is that it can be tailored to your tastes. I'm a 'throw it in and see how it turns out' kind of cook, so please adjust the recipe to fit your own tastes. This recipe is best used immediately, as fresh fruit doesn't keep well in the refrigerator. If you prefer baked cinnamon chips, arrange the tortilla triangles in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and bake 5 to 10 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Watch them closely so they don't burn!

QUICK FRESH TOMATILLO SALSA
Tomatillos, which are closer botanically to the gooseberry than to the tomato, have a wonderful acidic tang. To get the best out of them they should be simmered or grilled for about 10 minutes, until they're soft and the color has gone from pale green to olive. You can use them for a quick, blended salsa (like the one in this recipe) and also for a cooked salsa, which has a rounder, seared flavor. Use on tacos, or as chip or vegetable dip, or alongside grilled chicken or pork.

Steps:
- Place the tomatillos in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through, until softened and olive green. Remove from the heat. Transfer to a blender. Add the chiles, onion, cilantro, and 1/4 cup water to the blender and blend to a coarse puree. Transfer to a bowl, add salt, and thin out as desired with water. Taste and adjust salt, and set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to develop.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn tortillas: Stale tortillas will not fry well and will be more likely to break apart. If you can't find fresh tortillas, you can make your own using masa harina.
- Cut the tortillas into thin strips: This will help them fry evenly and will make them more crispy.
- Fry the tortillas in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough that the tortillas sizzle when they are added to it. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the tortillas will not cook evenly. Fry the tortillas in batches if necessary.
- Drain the tortillas on paper towels: This will help to remove excess oil from the tortillas.
Conclusion:
Fresh-fried corn chips are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a side dish with tacos or burritos. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own fresh-fried corn chips that are sure to impress your family and friends.
