Chipotle Tortilla Chips with Mango Salsa

Chipotle Tortilla Chips with Mango Salsa

These little sweet heat crispy tortilla chips turned out great! I made one batch and ate them all plain....which you can totally do and be forever happy...OR you can make up some fresh mango salsa and have it be a little more festive! As with most salsa recipes, feel free to adapt the recipe to suit your tastes...It's what I love most about salsas, they are so easy to personalize! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

For the Chipotle Tortilla Chips:

For the Mango Salsa:

  • 2 ripe mangos, diced (I like using the small yellow ones because their flesh is more firm)
  • 1/2 large red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 medium red onion, finely diced
  • 1-2 small ripe avocados, diced (not too ripe or they will get too mushy)
  • 1/2 -1 jalapeño, finely diced (add more or less for desired spiciness)
  • 2 Tbsp coarsely chopped cilantro
  • 1-2 limes for juicing (to taste)
  • pinch of salt
  • dash of pepper

Directions:

For the Chipotle Tortilla Chips:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  3. Place two tortillas on each baking sheet.
  4. Warm up the chipotle caramel sauce until it is very liquid-y. Drizzle over the top of the tortillas and use a pastry brush to spread and even layer over the entire tortilla. Flip the tortillas over and repeat until both sides are evenly coated.
  5. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut 8 wedges in the tortillas and spread them out so they are not touching each other.
  6. Bake for 5 minutes, use tongs to turn the chips over and cook for 4 minutes longer.
  7. Flip the chips one more time and cook for an additional 2 minutes. (You might want to rotate your pans half way through the baking process).
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.

For the Mango Salsa

  1. Put the mangos, onion, peppers, cilantro, avocado and jalapeño in a medium bowl and gentle toss to evenly mix.
  2. Beginning with 1 lime, squeeze the juice over the salsa, adding more to taste.
  3. Sprinkle on a little salt and some fresh ground pepper.
  4. transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with a little more cilantro.
  5. Serve with Chipotle Tortilla Chips!
