About Baked Tortilla With Citrus Salsa ( Healthy Diabetic Recipe )

Ingredients

Nutrient values

Time to tango with tangy oranges! This green and orange salsa not only looks good but also tastes good, and is healthy as well. There is a tinge of innovativeness at play too… salsa is usually made with tomatoes and capsicum, but here I have made it with citrus fruits.

This unique, light-baked dish serves as a nutritive and tasty snack. For the salsa to taste best, ensure that you select just-ripe fruits which are sweet and tangy. You can make the salsa in advance too and store in the refrigerator.

For the baked tortilla chips

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and knead into a soft dough using hot water.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
Roll out each portion between two sheets of plastic into a thin circle of 175 mm. (7") diameter. Dust the tortillas generously with flour to make the rolling easier.
Lightly cook the tortillas on a non-stick pan.
Cut each tortilla into 6 triangular pieces.
Place the tortilla pieces in a single layer on a baking tray.
Bake at 190°c (380°f) for 7 to 8 minutes or until the tortilla chips are crisp and lightly browned.
