Mango Basil Salsa with Lime-Infused Chips

Ingredients

For the Mango Basil Salsa:
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste

For the Lime-Infused Chips:
- 8 small corn tortillas, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lime zest (from 1 lime)
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prepare the Mango Basil Salsa:

1. Combine Fresh Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, chopped red onion, and diced red bell pepper. Stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients.

2. Add Aroma and Flavor:
Add the chopped fresh basil leaves to the bowl. Drizzle in the fresh lime juice and olive oil. Mix everything together until well combined.

3. Season to Taste:
Season the salsa with salt and black pepper according to your preference. Gently toss the salsa once more to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

4. Chill the Salsa:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Create the Lime-Infused Chips:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Season the Chips:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lime zest. Arrange the tortilla wedges on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the lime-infused olive oil mixture over each wedge evenly.

3. Bake the Chips:
Sprinkle salt over the tortilla wedges. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chips are crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

4. Cool:
Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
