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!

FRESH MANGO SALSA AND HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS
GINA My attraction to mangoes was confirmed on a trip Pat and I took to Mexico. The velvety fruit tastes like an exotic mix of pineapples and peaches, and the flavor just explodes in your mouth. In creating this salsa, I stuck with Mexican tradition and added fresh cilantro, which you can chop or tear apart. Cilantro also offers a health benefit by soothing the digestive system. So, little do the guys know, I'm taking care of their stomachs as well as their appetite! (Ladies, y'all can thank me later.) Mind you, I was a little skeptical about whether they'd go for it, so I deep-fried the tortilla chips, so they'd have something familiar to dip.
Yield serves 4 to 6
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Combine the mangoes, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt, and toss. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving, so the flavors can marry.
- Heat the peanut oil in a large Dutch oven or deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. (For tips on deep-frying, see page 19.)
- Arrange the corn tortillas in a stack, and cut into six equal wedges. Drop the tortillas into the oil, in batches, and fry until crisp and golden, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
- Remove the chips from the fryer and place on a paper-towel-lined sheet tray. Sprinkle the chips immediately with the salt, and serve warm with the salsa.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with a few tablespoons of vegetable oil. Stack a few corn tortillas at a time, and cut through the stack to make each tortilla into six equal wedges. Spread the wedges out in a single layer on two baking sheets, season with salt, and bake for 15 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
Tips for Making the Best Homemade Salsa and Tortilla Chips:
- Use ripe, fresh tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your salsa. Choose tomatoes that are ripe, juicy, and flavorful.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before making your salsa adds a smoky, caramelized flavor that takes it to the next level.
- Use a variety of chili peppers: The type of chili peppers you use will determine the heat level of your salsa. For a mild salsa, use mild chili peppers such as poblanos or Anaheim peppers. For a medium salsa, use serrano peppers or jalapeños. For a hot salsa, use habanero or cayenne peppers.
- Add fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices such as cilantro, cumin, and oregano add a lot of flavor to your salsa. Be sure to taste your salsa as you add them to adjust the flavor to your liking.
- Let your salsa rest: After you make your salsa, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve your salsa with fresh tortilla chips: Fresh tortilla chips are the perfect complement to homemade salsa. You can make your own tortilla chips by cutting corn tortillas into wedges and baking them in the oven until crispy.
Conclusion:
Making homemade salsa and tortilla chips is a great way to enjoy fresh, flavorful Mexican food at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious salsa and tortilla chips that are sure to impress your friends and family.
