Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips

Hello friends, I'm back from vacation! Did you miss me? I know I missed you all! We had a fabulous week in Clearwater Beach, Florida but it feels good to be home. If you follow me on social media at all then you got to catch a glimpse of my trip. If not, don't fear! I'll be sharing an overview later this week along with some pics just so you can see what I was up to!

For now, let's talk Mexican food. Do you love it or hate it? I am a HUGE fan! Honestly, I could eat a Mexican dish every day for the rest of my life. Tacos, enchiladas, burritos...you name it, I love it.

This month is Mexican month for the Blogger Recipe Challenge group. I can't wait to share some of my favorite recipes with you! This first one isn't your traditional Mexican dish. I created a delicious fruit salsa and paired it with cinnamon sugar tortilla chips. Everyone has a traditional salsa and chips recipe, so I wanted to mix things up a bit!

The fruit salsa is fresh and sweet, but not too sweet, and pairs perfectly with the cinnamon sugar chips. My kids devoured a bowl and almost all of the chips in just one sitting. I hope you will enjoy this as much as we did!

INGREDIENTS
Fruit Salsa:
1 cup chopped strawberries
3/4 cup chopped kiwi
1/2 Tbsp agave nectar
Zest and juice of half a lime
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Tortilla Chips:
6 flour tortillas, (6-inch)
Cinnamon Sugar blend
Cooking spray

PREPARATION
1. For the salsa, in a small bowl whisk together the agave, lime juice and zest, and the cinnamon. Pour over the chopped berries and gently stir. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to blend the flavors.

2. While the salsa is chilling, make the chips. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 

3. Spray the tortillas lightly with the cooking spray, then cut each into 8 wedges. Place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides of the wedges with the cinnamon sugar blend.

4. Bake the chips 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. 

5. Serve the chips with the strawberry salsa on the side.

6. Bon Appetit!

make it

For years consumers have struggled to fit the large round fruit in their refrigerators. And then there was the problem of trying to cut the fruit when it kept rolling around. But 20 years ago a forward-thinking farmer on Japan's south-western   island   of Shikoku solved the problem. The farmer, from Zentsuji, in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored. To make it happen, farmers grew the melons in glass boxes and the fruit then naturally assumed the same shape. Today the cuboid watermelons are.......................

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread : " 'The Trader Joe's cornbread was some of the best cornbread I've tasted, from a mix or otherwise.' Ever wonder about a boxed mix you've seen in the store? Is it any good? Could it replace something you'd otherwise make from scratch? Welcome to Mixed Review , where the whole point is putting boxed mixes to the test! —The Mgmt. Two years ago, I did a roundup of standard supermarket cornbread mixes for this column and was generally unimpressed with all of them. They were gummy, thin, and cloyingly sweet. I called Jiffy, my top choice, 'solid, if not sensational' and recommended doctoring it up with add-ins like sun-dried tomatoes, poppy seeds, and pecans. This year, I thought it was time to revisit the cornbread basket by comparing two readily available specialty mixes: Crate & Barrel's Buttermilk Cornbread Mix ($8.95) and Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix ($2.69).
