Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 apple, diced
- 1 cup mixed berries, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 6 small tortillas
- Cooking spray
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dice the apple into small, uniform cubes, removing the core. Place in a medium mixing bowl.
- Carefully dice the mixed berries into similar-sized pieces as the apple and add to the bowl.
- Finely chop the red onion and add to the fruit mixture.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the fruit and onion mixture.
- Drizzle honey over the salsa ingredients and gently fold everything together until well combined.
- Cut the tortillas into triangular wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Arrange tortilla wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly spray the tortilla wedges with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake the tortilla chips for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden and crisp, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove chips from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to crisp up further.
- Transfer the prepared salsa to a serving bowl and serve alongside the warm baked tortilla chips.
Tips
- Choose ripe but firm fruits for the best texture and flavor balance. Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples work wonderfully.
- Dice your fruits and onions into uniform, small pieces to ensure every bite is perfectly balanced.
- Let the salsa sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
- For extra crispiness, ensure tortilla chips are spread in a single layer and not overlapping when baking.
- Use fresh lime juice for the brightest, most vibrant flavor - bottled juice can taste flat.
- Adjust honey quantity based on the sweetness of your fruits. Taste and modify as needed.
- If you want a spicier version, consider adding a small amount of finely chopped jalapeño to the salsa.
- Store leftover salsa in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for maximum freshness.
