Ingredients
For the Chocolate Sauce:
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 1/2 cups agave
- 1 cup chocolate powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup water (or more as needed to help blend)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
For the Tortilla Chips:
- 2 cups masa harina
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
For the Cinnamon Sugar:
- 1/4 cup raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Strawberry Salsa:
- 1 pint of strawberries, minced
- 1 apple, peeled and minced
- 2 sprigs mint, finely chopped
- 1/2 fresh jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 tablespoon agave (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Preparation
To Make the Chocolate Sauce:
- Blend everything together in the blender until smooth.
To Make the Strawberry Salsa:
- Toss all ingredients together and set aside until ready to use.
To Make the Tortilla Chips:
- Mix the salt and the masa harina together. Slowly add the hot water until a dough is formed and is firm and springy to the touch, not sticky.
- Wrap in plastic and allow the dough to rest for one hour.
- Form the dough into 2-inch balls and using a tortilla press (according to the manufacturer’s instructions) press the ball into a 6-inch tortilla. Be sure to use two pieces of wax paper to keep the dough from sticking to the tortilla press.
- You can also roll this out by hand with a rolling pin between the two pieces of wax paper.
- Heat up a cast iron and cook the tortillas for about one minute on the first side and flip over and cook on the other side for a few seconds.
- In a large sauce pan, add about 1-inch of oil. Heat it up to about 325-350°F.
- Cut up the tortillas into chip sized pieces and drop into the hot oil. Fry until crisp, about 1 minute. Remove from the oil and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar on both sides.
