Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Granny Smith apple
- 2 medium Fuji apple
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 6 medium Flour tortillas
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for chips)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Core and finely dice the Granny Smith and Fuji apples. Transfer them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat) and add them to the bowl with the apples.
Add the lime juice, honey, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the bowl. Stir everything until well combined. Cover and refrigerate the salsa while preparing the chips.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe dish or small saucepan.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the chips.
Brush one side of each tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut each tortilla into triangles.
Arrange the tortilla triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown. Rotate the pans halfway through baking for even cooking.
Allow the cinnamon chips to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the chilled apple salsa alongside the warm cinnamon chips. Enjoy!
