Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

Fruit Salsa
ingredients:
1 apple (granny smith are great but really any variety will do!)
2 bananas
2 kiwi
1-2 cups strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, grapes, mandarin oranges (frozen will even do!)
1 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:
1. Peel and dice your apple, bananas and kiwi and place in a medium size bowl.
2. Mix with lime juice. Then add your additional fruit (dicing up the bigger ones into salsa-sized pieces), sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix well.
3. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to let the juices mix. Serve with cinnamon chips and ENJOY!

Cinnamon Chips
Ingredients:
1 package of flour tortillas
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup cinnamon
3/4 cup sugar

Directions:
1. Mix cinnamon and sugar together in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
2. Cut your tortillas in to chip-sized pieces (I use a pizza cutter to cut them, this way they don't tear).
3. Melt butter and brush both sides of the tortilla chips and then dip into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
4. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes. Cool and serve with fruit salsa!!

*A little side note from me to you...instead of using butter, you can just spray your tortillas with cooking spray and then dip them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. They come out just as tasty although I will say that the butter adds a little something extra, call it a buttery-cinnamon gooey-ness if you will :)
*for a gluten free version use corn tortillas.

My kids love these, I know you will too!
