Ingredients
Salsa
- 1/2 a red onion
- 175g or 1/2 punnet colourful tomatoes (1 cup diced)
- 1 peach/nectarine or 2 apricots
- 1 red chili
- juice of 1 small lime (about 15-20ml)
- 2 tbsp coriander
- 1 tsp avocado or olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Tortilla Chips
- 4 (20cm) whole wheat flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 Tbsp avocado or olive oil
- 1/2 tsp chili & lime salt, or spice rub of choice (optional)
- salt as needed
Instructions
Make the tortilla chips: In a small bowl, whisk together the oil with the chili and lime salt. Brush a light coating of the mixture on both sides of the tortillas. Cut each tortilla into wedges to form chip-sized triangles.
Airfryer Method:
- Preheat your airfryer to 177C and set the timer to 9 Minutes.
- Place the tortilla triangles in a single layer in your air fryer basket (you will probably need to cook them in batches).
- Air fry for 7-9 minutes, or until they start to brown around the edges.
- Once cooked, shake the chips onto a paper towel lined baking tray.
- They will get crunchier as they cool.
Oven Method:
- Preheat your oven to 175C.
- Bake the tortilla chips for 7-9 minutes or until they start to brown around the edges.
- Once cooked, shake the chips onto a paper towel lined baking tray.
- They will get crunchier as they cool.
While the chips are cooking:
- Dice up the tomatoes, red onion and stone fruit and place the ingredients into a bowl.
- Finely chop the corriander and add it to the stone fruit mixture.
- Squeeze over the juice of one lime, add the oil, stir everything, and season with salt to taste.
- Deseed and finely mince your chili, then add it to your salsa, according to your heat preference.
- Give everything a taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve immediately alongside the warm tortilla chips.
