Dessert Chips and Salsa

This is by far the neatest "dessert" I have made.  It's healthy, but oh so clever!  It's a fruit salad with homemade cinnamon sugar chips.  I promise, its worth trying!

Chips:
1 pkg flour tortillas (smallest sized one's...)
1/2 Cup white sugar
2-3 Tbsp's cinnamon
Pot of vegetable oil, or frying oil...whichever you prefer

Directions:
*Put your oil into a pot on the stove and turn onto medium.  Let the oil heat up until bubbles begin to rise.

*While your oil is heating up, cut your torillas in half.  Now cut each half into 3 pieces (so you have 3 triangles per half slice).  You are cutting each tortilla into "pizza" slices pretty much...

*Now drop 4-6 tortilla pieces into your oil and cook for a couple of minutes until they begin to darken.  If they are still the white color they won't be crunchy...just be careful not to overdo them...

*Pull the tortilla chips out of the oil now and put them on a plate that has paper towels lined on it.  This will absorb the extra oil on the chips.

*You can sprinkle your sugar and then a dash of cinnamon on each chip individually, or you can pre-mix yours (I always have a pre-mixed cinnamon sugar container in my pantry because I actually use this combo all the time...which makes me remember that I have never put my french toast recipe on here...maybe I will do that this weekend!).  So if you have an empty spice container, pre-mix the two so that is is mostly sugar with a hint of cinnamon.  Cinnamon can be overpowering in flavor so test your mixture until its just right for you.

*Once you have sprinkled the cinnamon and sugar on your chips continue to cook the other chips a bit at a time.  Once you get into the hang of cooking in the oil it will go by fast, so don't get discouraged!

Dessert Salsa:

(This is just a basic fruit salad.  You can use or not-use any ingredients you want.  Here are what we used though).
Ingredients:
1 Cup green grapes
2 Golden delicious apples
1 Pkg strawberries
1 Small can pineapple pieces
2 Cups blackberries
1/3 Cup orange juice

Directions:
*Wash and peel any of the fruits that need to be peeled.

*Cut all of your fruit into smaller, biteable sized pieces.

*Put all of your fruit into a large bowl, and mix them all up.  We used orange juice and the pineapple juice that was inside of the can to coat the fruit so that the peeled apples didn't go bad.  It was delicious!  You can add so many other fruits too!

Other fruits (or one's I forgot to pick up and add to ours...)
Kiwi's
Oranges
Raspberries
Cantaloupe
Honeydew
Peaches
Plums

*Now, when you  serve the dish, use the chips to pick up your dessert salsa.  Its adorable.  My mom got giggly when she saw it.  She couldn't stop saying how good it was or how neat of an idea it was.
