Cinco De Mayo Recipe: Quick Sopapillas & Strawberry Salsa

These quick and tasty appetizers make a good snack and give your guests something special to munch on while waiting for your Cinco De Mayo feast. These faux sopapillas don't require any frying, so they're also healthier than the real thing. When paired with a fresh, fruity salsa, they add a perfectly unique spring flair to the proceedings!

Quick Sopapillas with Strawberry Salsa

Ingredients:

Sopapilla:
1 package tortillas
natural cooking spray (coconut oil works well & adds a tropical taste)
1 to 2 tsps cinnamon, to taste
1/3 cup sugar

Salsa:
1 carton organic strawberries, rinsed & trimmed
1 organic apple, peeled and cored
2 kiwi fruit, peeled
1/2 to 1 Tbsp sugar, to taste
1 tsp lemon juice

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cut tortillas into wedges and use the cooking spray or oil to lightly coat both sides of the tortillas. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar in a little bowl, then sprinkle the coated tortillas on both sides with the cinnamon sugar. Place tortilla wedges on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes, turning once, until crispy. Remove and let cool on a rack.
  • Prepare salsa by putting the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse, creating a chunky salsa to your liking.
  • Serve salsa in a little bowl with the sopapilla chips for dipping.
