Ingredients
For tortilla crisps:
- 8 whole-wheat fat-free tortillas
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
For fruit salsa:
- 3 cups diced fresh fruit, such as apples, oranges, kiwi, strawberries, grapes or other fresh fruit
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free jam, any flavor
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
Directions
Heat the oven to 350 F. Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges. Lay pieces on two baking sheets. Make sure they aren't overlapping. Spray the tortilla pieces with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the tortilla wedges. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the pieces are crisp. Place on a cooling rack and let cool.
Cut the fruit into cubes. Gently mix the fruit together in a mixing bowl. In another bowl, whisk together jam, honey and orange juice. Pour this over the diced fruit. Mix gently. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
Serve as a dip or topping for the cinnamon tortilla chips.
