Fruit Salsa...My Way!!

There are so many recipes out there for this! But this I know is kid approved!! I serve it to my daycare kids!! From ages 1-11!! Great for an after school snack!!  The pics aren't the best, but ohhh does it taste good!!


WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
1 pint strawberries, minced
1/2 c. (or so) cantaloupe, minced
2 medium-large apples. I prefer Gala, and minced
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. orange juice (the real stuff, people!)
10 or so tortillas pie cut (with a pizza cutter, it's faster!!)
cooking spray
1 c. cinnamon and sugar mixture ( may or may not use it all)


Other fruits that work:
kiwi, blueberries, peaches, nectarines, plums, pomegranate (wouldn't suggest with small children)


TORTILLA PREP:
-Preheat oven to 350°
-Take cut pieces of tortillas and place them on a cookie sheet.
-Spray each tortilla lightly with cooking spray
-Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over each tortilla "chip"
-Bake for about 8-10 minutes, til tortilla is crunchy


SALSA PREP:
-In medium bowl mix in minced strawberries, cantaloupe, and apples.
-Drizzle lemon juice over the top of the mixture, then mix it up!
-In small bowl, mix orange juice and sugar.
-Pour over fruit mixture, then mix it up!


The chips last a couple of days if kept in an airtight container. I suggest making the salsa 1-2 hours before you would want to serve it. This way all the juices can marry! Mmmm...
