Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole wheat pita bread
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium jalapeño
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut each pita bread into 8 triangles, separating the layers if desired for thinner chips.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Place the pita triangles on a large baking sheet in a single layer and brush each with the spiced olive oil mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the pita chips are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
While the pita chips bake, prepare the salsa fresca. Dice the tomatoes and finely chop the red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Add the lime juice and salt to the salsa mixture, and stir well to combine. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Remove the pita chips from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the crispy pita chips alongside the fresh salsa fresca for a flavorful snack!
