• 5 flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Salsa:

• 1 cup strawberries
• 1 tart apple
• 2 tablespoons liquid honey
• 1/2 teaspoon orange zest (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Cinnamon Chips:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly brush the flour tortillas with water. This helps the sugar and cinnamon adhere better.
3. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the brushed tortillas.
4. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the tortillas into wedges.
5. Arrange the tortilla wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These cinnamon chips are wonderful on their own or with a sprinkle of Cajun spice for an extra kick.

Prepare the Strawberry-Apple Salsa:

1. In a medium bowl, mash half of the strawberries with a fork or potato masher. The goal is to achieve a chunky texture with some small pieces of fruit remaining.
2. Dice the remaining strawberries and add them to the bowl with the mashed strawberries.
3. Peel and core the tart apple, then dice it into small cubes and add it to the bowl.
4. Stir in the liquid honey until well combined. If you’re using orange zest, add it at this stage for an extra layer of flavor.
5. Mix everything gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

To Serve:

1. Arrange the cinnamon chips on a serving platter.
2. Spoon the strawberry-apple salsa into a serving bowl.
3. Serve immediately, allowing everyone to dip the cinnamon chips into the refreshing salsa.
