Hi Kat – generally the sopapillas I’ve eaten have been thicker and more pillowy soft, but I’m sure it varies. What a nice memory of your Nana.

IIRC, what you’re making with these unbanked tortillas is called sopapillas. I can’t be certain because despite the many failed attempts to make these tasty and fried lil treats with my Nana, who passed around ten yrs ago.

Try topping them w/ sifted powdered sugar and honey, which is how they’re usually served. You can also coat them after frying them with cinnamon sugar, which are known as buñuelos, another simple treat.

I like Deb’s idea for substituting mint for the parsley in this. It would have the same contrasting green to look nice with the fruit but also be a cooling summery flavor. Love all the colors in this salsa, and together with the cinnamon chips it makes a nice dessert-type item without being too high-calorie.

I just made this for a snack later tonight. Mint leaves would be really good in it, too. I don’t have any and am still contemplating the parsley. Not sure my boys will like it with parsley. Maybe I’ll just put a little bit chopped really finely in it. 😉

Mangos add so much texture and sweetness. This looks delish. We also love the tortilla land tortillas. I bet they are so good with cinnamon sugar. You have another great recipe.

I will have to try this! Sounds like a salsa I would love(especially with these chips)! I don’t care for tomato based(regular) salsa.

Oh yum, Barbara, this looks outstanding. Something other than jam and shortcake to make with those yummy summertime strawberries 🙂

That salsa is so pretty Barbara, and I love the combination of flavors. I actually just made cinnamon sugar chips today, next time I’ll have to add the salsa to go along with them!

I love tortilla chips. Even better when they are a bit sweet and served with fruit. I loved the post about your family reunion. Such a great story.
