Tortillas as a Delicious Dessert!

Hello Everyone! 
 
 
 
We have finally made it to the home stretch: dessert! Out of all 3 recipes, this 
dessert recipe is my favorite. It's a dish that I made in my food and nutrition 
class in high school (best class ever and the only class I have ever gotten over 
100 in!). This dish is simple, but don't be fooled you will NEVER WANT TO STOP 
EATING IT! Who knew tortillas could be so good, and there's fruit in this dish 
so it is kind of healthy. Just thinking about this dish makes me want to go make 
it right now, but I have this blog post to write so I will have to wait. So I 
don't have to make you guys wait any longer, here is the recipe to the best: 
 
 
 
Cinnamon Chips with Fruit Salsa! 
 
 
 
For the salsa: (makes about 1/3 C salsa) 
 
3 strawberries  
 
4 raspberries 
 
1/4 C blueberries 
 
1 sm apple 
 
1 tbsp orange zest 
 
Juice of 1/2 of an orange 
 
*Chop the strawberries, raspberries, and apple into small bite sized pieces 
 
*Place chopped fruit in a bowl and mix in the blueberries 
 
*Toss fruit with the orange juice and orange zest 
 
*Cover the bowl of salsa, and set in fridge while you make the chips! 
 
For the Cinnamon Chips:( makes 16 chips, but their so addicting you'll want to 
make extra) 
 
2 flour tortillas 
 
Pam Cooking Spray 
 
3/4 C Sugar 
 
3/4 tbsp cinnamon 
 
*Cut each flour tortilla into 8 triangles to make 16 total tortilla chips 
 
*Coat a baking sheet with Pam Cooking spray 
 
*Place tortilla chips on baking sheet. Make sure their evenly spread apart 
 
* Coat each tortilla chip on top with Pam Cooking Spray 
 
* In a bowl mix together the 3/4 C sugar and 3/4 tbsp cinnamon. This mixture is 
called cinnamon sugar. You can play around with amounts if you think there's too 
much or not enough cinnamon. 
 
*Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the the the tortilla chips. Don't 
be afraid of being generous. 
 
* Bake the chips for about 8 minutes at 425 degrees until the bottom of each 
chip is golden brown and the cinnamon sugar mixture has oozed into the chip. 
 
* Take the chips out of the oven, place them on a plate, and garnish with fruit 
salsa on the side! 
 
Thoughts on the recipe: As stated above, I love this recipe. I love the cinnamon 
sugar mixture, and the fruit salsa adds a nice bright flavor to the dessert. 
Basically you can use any variety of fruit you like for the salsa. You don't 
need to be limited to what I listed above. If you want to add some pear, and 
leave out raspberries go for it! You just wanted to make sure to cut the fruit 
small to try and resemble salsa. Also, if you cut some tortillas smaller then 
others (for some reason mine don't look the same size all the time)  they will 
cook faster. So watch out for burning. If you don't like fruit, or want even 
more sugar, I have been known to leave out the fruit and dip the chips in some 
whipped cream. It's up to you! 

                                             SO GOOD!
 
I hope that you have all enjoyed reading about my experiences making dishes from 
flour tortillas. Maybe some of you will try them, and like them as much as I 
did. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I should cook next, leave me a 
comment and maybe I'll try to give it a shot. Thanks for taking the time to read 
my blog posts so far, and there will be more to come. I promise!
