FRUIT SALSA WITH CINNAMON TORTILLA CHIPS
The fun of this recipe is that it can be tailored to your tastes. I'm a 'throw it in and see how it turns out' kind of cook, so please adjust the recipe to fit your own tastes. This recipe is best used immediately, as fresh fruit doesn't keep well in the refrigerator. If you prefer baked cinnamon chips, arrange the tortilla triangles in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and bake 5 to 10 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Watch them closely so they don't burn!

Tips:
- Choose the freshest possible tomatoes: Vine-ripened tomatoes are ideal, as they have the best flavor. If you can't find vine-ripened tomatoes, look for tomatoes that are firm and have no blemishes.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: Different types of tomatoes offer different flavors and textures, so using a variety will give your salsa more depth. For example, you could use a combination of Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. To roast tomatoes, simply slice them in half and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are slightly charred.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and oregano, add a lot of flavor to salsa. If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
- Don't over-process your salsa: A good salsa should have some texture. If you over-process it, it will become too smooth and lose its flavor. Simply pulse the ingredients in a food processor or blender until they are combined.
Conclusion:
With so many variations, there's a tortilla salsa recipe for everyone. Whether you like it mild, medium, or hot, chunky or smooth, made with roasted tomatoes or fresh, there's a salsa that will tantalize your taste buds. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or condiment, give one of these tortilla salsa recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
