Directions
Dice
strawberries into 1/2-inch pieces. Combine all the ingredients for the salsa in
a bowl and gently toss to mix. Add lime juice or sugar to taste. The salsa
should be a little sweet and a little sour. Chill thoroughly.
Preheat oven
to 350 degrees. Mix cinnamon and sugar together and place in empty spice
container (or use commercial cinnamon-sugar mix). To make cinnamon chips, coat
one side of tortilla with cooking spray. Cut in wedges of desired size and
place in single layer on baking sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Spray
again with cooking spray. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat for remaining
wedges. Cool for 15 minutes. Serve with salsa.
