Chips and Mango Salsa

Here's a healthy twist to your snack food, Chips and Mango Salsa that's to die for! You can use this for parties, pot lucks, a healthy brown bag idea, or just a midday snack. I promise your whole family will LOVE this dish! All you need is...

Chips:

1 package white or blue corn tortillas

Olive oil

Sea salt

Mango Salsa

4 large tomatoes

1 large mango

1 med sweet white onion

1 pepper of choice (I use tomatillo)

Juice of half a lemon

Cilantro to taste, chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Take one tortilla, spread with olive oil on one side, salt to taste then cut into 8 triangles. Place tortillas onto a cookie sheet and bake until golden brown. Repeat with all tortillas and store in an airtight container. Dice tomatoes, peeled mango, onion, and pepper and place into a medium sized bowl. Squeeze the juice of one half a lemon into the bowl then add chopped cilantro; mix all ingredients together. Enjoy with your freshly made tortilla chips.

Variations: Instead of mango add corn, black beans, red and green pepper for a more southwestern salsa.

Some people like to discard the seeds of the tomato; I personally use them as the "juice" of the dish. Some people also like to discard the seeds of the pepper; if using tomatillo you don't have to worry because it is a very mild pepper. Of course with the hotter peppers you can adjust the heat of your salsa by the amount of seeds you allow. When buying the tortilla, make sure you buy the ones with the least amount of ingredients, you want it to be as close to the homemade thing as possible.

What makes this dish so healthy? Well, the obvious reason is because of the lack of preseratives and processed foods. So much of what we eat today is jammed full of things like MSG, high fructose corn syrup, vinegar, sodium, and fat. Some of which are designed to enhance the flavor of certain ingredients like the "artificial flavoring", excite your brain cells (excitotoxins), get you addicted, and make you fat so you can keep on feedin' the man. This recipe is made from all natural, fresh ingredients making it the healthiest and tastiest option for you and your family. Enjoy!
