Summer and Salsa Recipes go hand and hand. Fresh salsa and tortilla chips are a great picnic food, perfect for cookouts, and a light munchie anytime! This recipe is not your traditional fresh salsa but is just as delicious and flavorful. The mango and pineapple offer just the right amount of sweet to offset the heat of the jalapeno peppers. The homemade baked corn tortilla chips are super easy to make and taste so much better than store bought options.

July 2, 2014 at 10:34 amI just made this and it was yummy! ** I didn’t have lemon, so I used lime juice instead. (I also tossed in some fresh chopped mint from my garden.) Thanks for a great idea. We are going to serve the rest of it (ate so much with chips already) with some grilled halibut over the weekend.

July 8, 2014 at 3:48 pmThe salsa looks great, but I’m more intrigued by the tortilla chips. I’ve seen many salsa recipes, but I’ve never seen a homemade tortilla chip before.
