Ingredients:

Salsa

2 lbs of fresh strawberries, diced

Zest from 1 lime

1 Tablespoon of mint, chopped

1 Teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 Tablespoons strawberry jam

1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

6 small flour tortillas cut into 1/8ths

1/2 cup of granulated sugar

2 Teaspoons ground cinnamon

A little canola oil

Preparation:

For salsa combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine.  I found it was easy to mix the jam in when it was warmed first in the microwave to make it a bit looser.

For cinnamon chips.  In a small bowl mix together sugar and cinnamon, set aside.  Next, using a pizza wheel or a sharp knife cut tortillas into 1/8ths.  Lay all the tortilla triangles on a piece of parchment paper and brush with oil.  Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar and bake in a 350 F degree oven until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
