Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup strawberries, diced
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry salsa by finely dicing fresh strawberries into small, uniform pieces. Place the diced strawberries in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add lime juice and honey to the strawberries. Gently mix to combine, ensuring the strawberries are evenly coated. Let the salsa sit and marinate while preparing the tortillas.
- In a small separate bowl, mix sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Do not add oil or butter to the cooking surface.
- Place a flour tortilla directly onto the hot skillet. Cook for approximately 30-45 seconds on each side until light golden spots appear and the tortilla becomes slightly crisp.
- Immediately after removing the tortilla from the skillet, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the entire surface of the warm tortilla.
- Repeat the cooking and cinnamon-sugar coating process with the remaining tortillas.
- Once all tortillas are prepared, cut each tortilla into wedges or triangular shapes.
- Serve the warm cinnamon-coated tortilla wedges alongside the fresh strawberry salsa for dipping.
Tips
- Choose ripe, sweet strawberries for the most vibrant and flavorful salsa. Look for berries that are deep red and slightly soft to the touch.
- Make sure your skillet is properly heated before cooking the tortillas - a medium-high heat ensures those perfect golden-brown spots.
- Work quickly when sprinkling the cinnamon-sugar mixture on the hot tortillas to help the sugar stick and create a delicious caramelized coating.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of orange zest to the strawberry salsa or a dash of vanilla to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- These tortillas are best served immediately while still warm and crisp. If you need to prepare ahead, cook the tortillas and make the salsa separately, then combine just before serving.
- Don't be afraid to experiment! Try adding a small amount of fresh mint to the strawberry salsa for an unexpected twist.
- Use a sharp knife when dicing strawberries to ensure clean, uniform pieces that look as good as they taste.
