How to Make Cosmic Zings

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Using a 2-inch cookie or biscuit cutter, cut 10-12 corn tortillas into circles.
  3. Brush both sides of each tortilla circle lightly with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  4. Gently press the tortilla circles into the cups of a mini muffin tin.
  5. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Let the tortilla cups cool completely in the muffin tin.
  7. While the cups bake, peel and dice 1 ripe mango into 1/4-inch pieces.
  8. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango with 1/2 cup finely diced red onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño pepper, finely minced (remove seeds for less heat), 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons brown rice syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  9. Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings with additional lime juice, brown rice syrup, or salt as needed.
  10. Once the tortilla cups are cool, fill each with a heaping teaspoon of the mango salsa.
