Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Chips
- 1 cup (200 grams) white or cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 5 10 inch flour tortillas
- ¼ cup (60 ml) oil , or aquafaba (oil gives crispier results)
For the Strawberry Salsa
- 2lb (32 oz or 907 grams) fresh strawberries , diced
- 1 small lime
- 3 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large handful fresh mint , chopped
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175 °C) and line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together until combined well. Set aside.
- Place your tortillas in a neat pile, and with a sharp knife, cut the pile into quarters, then cut each quarter into 4 chip-sized wedges. See my photographs in the post above for how to do this easily.
- Lay the tortilla pieces out in a single layer on the lined baking trays and brush each one with a light coating of oil.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon sugar over each one then turn them over, brush with a little more oil and sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar. Or after brushing pick the tortilla up and dip it into the bowl of cinnamon sugar. Do it whichever way works best for you. Dipping makes the sugar coating more even, but sprinkling is quicker!
- Place in the oven and bake until bubbling, golden and crispy. It should take about 12 minutes. Be sure to watch them in the last few minutes as they can go from ok to burnt very quickly. Remove the chips from the oven and leave to cool completely on the tray.
- Put the diced strawberries in a large bowl. Juice the lime and add it to the bowl along with the strawberry jam, vanilla, mint, and black pepper, then stir well to combine. Leave it to sit for 30 minutes before serving if you can so the flavors can meld together.
- Serve the salsa with the cinnamon chips. The salsa is best served at room temerpature.
NOTES
