Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips with Strawberry Salsa

My 81st recipe, "Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips with Strawberry Salsa", a sweet spin on the classical chips n salsa. When I opened my fridge today morning, I saw some left over flour tortillas which I had purchased to make quesadillas yesterday. I was wondering how I could use them up. And, I always enjoy having a batch of strawberries in my refrigerator and snack on during the day. It doesn't have to be Valentine's day to enjoy sweet treats with strawberries, and I immediately decided to make a special treat with the strawberries and tortillas. Since I love tomato salsa with chips at the Mexican restaurants here, I wanted to try making a sweet version of the lovely combo.

The strawberries replaced the tomatoes and got transformed into a lovely sweet salsa. And the tortillas transformed into something even magical, the cinnamon sugar chips which was the perfect pair for the strawberry salsa. The perfect balance of juicy, sweet and tart strawberries with the crispy, sweet and cinnamon flavored chips. The only thing I regretted after making this dish was that I just made only about 1 cup of strawberry salsa. It was so delicious that both myself and RK completed the salsa and chips in no time 🙂
