The tropical flavor of the fruit salsa teams well with the crunchy texture of cinnamon-sweetened tortilla chips.

Ingredients

Tortilla chips
Cooking spray
2 teaspoons olive oil
12 drops cinnamon-flavored liquid stevia sweetener
1/2 packet stevia sweetener or 1/4 teaspoon stevia sweetener
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 6-inch corn tortillas, each cut into 6 wedges
Fruit salsa
1 medium orange, peeled and diced
1/2 cup diced mango (from 1/2 of a medium mango)
1 medium kiwifruit, peeled and diced
1/4 cup pineapple tidbits, canned in their own juice, drained
1/4 cup diced strawberries (about 2 large)
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
2 squeezes tropical punch-flavored stevia water enhancer

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the oil, liquid stevia sweetener, stevia sweetener, cinnamon and salt.
  3. Place half of the tortilla wedges in a medium bowl. Drizzle half of the oil mixture over the wedges. Repeat with the remaining tortilla wedges and oil mixture. Using a spoon or clean hands, toss the wedges with the oil mixture.
  4. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Turn over the wedges. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crisp. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the orange, mango, kiwifruit, pineapple, strawberries, cilantro, lime zest, and stevia water enhancer. Serve with the tortilla chips.
