Instructions

  1. To make Tortilla Chips:
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon until fully combined. Set aside.
  4. Place tortillas on two baking sheets. Lightly spray tortillas with canola oil spray; turn tortillas over and spray other sides. Using a small mesh sifter, generously sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture over top of each oiled tortilla. Gather tortillas together in one stack and transfer them to a cutting board. Make two cross cuts to slice stack of tortillas into quarters and then transfer pieces back to baking sheets, cinnamon-sugar side up, in one layer. Place in oven to bake for approximately 7 to 9 minutes, until just golden. Transfer baked chips to a wire rack to cool.
  5. To make Fiesta Fruit Salad:
  6. Place apples into a large bowl. Pour lime juice over apples and mix well to coat. Add watermelon and kiwi to bowl and gently toss, to combine.
  7. Place mint leaves atop one another (in a stack); roll stack of leaves into a tube and thinly slice to get a chiffonade of mint (thin ribbons). Add mint to fruit in bowl and gently toss, to combine.
  8. To make Honey-Lime Yogurt:
  9. In a small bowl, whisk yogurt and honey until well combined. Add in zest and fold to combine.
  10. To serve, spoon salad into 4 bowls and serve with Cinnamon-Sugar Tortilla Chips. Top each  with a dollop of Honey-Lime Yogurt, if desired.
  11. Note: You may have some cinnamon-sugar mixture left over (nutritional data does not reflect this). For an additional festive touch, consider “wetting” the rims of each margarita glass with a cut wedge of lime; then dip each glass in a bit of the Cinnamon-Sugar mix used in the making of your tortilla chips.
