Recipe


Chips
1 lime
1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne pepper 
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt 
8 (6-in./15-cm)  flour tortillas

Salsa
1 jalapeño pepper
1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups (500 mL) cubed watermelon
2 small peaches
1 lime
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt 



        For chips, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Juice lime into Pinch Bowl
        using Citrus Press. Combine cayenne pepper and salt in another Pinch
        Bowl. Brush one side of each tortilla with lime juice; sprinkle lightly
        with cayenne mixture. Cut each tortilla into eight wedges using Pizza
        Cutter. Arrange half of the tortilla wedges in a single layer on Large
        Round Stone with Handles. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly
        browned and crisp. Remove from baking stone to Stackable Cooling Rack.
        Repeat with remaining tortilla wedges.


        For salsa, cut jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise using Petite Paring
        Knife; remove and discard seeds using Core & More. Chop jalapeño and
        cilantro using Food Chopper; place into Classic Batter Bowl. Cut
        watermelon into thin slices using Chef's Knife; dice slices. Remove and
        discard pits from peaches and slice into thin wedges; dice wedges. Juice
        lime into batter bowl using Citrus Press. Add watermelon, peaches and
        salt. Stir gently using Small Mix 'N Scraper®. Serve with chips.
