In a medium bowl, fold the Cinnamon and nutmeg into the Cool Whip topping. Fold in the remaining ingredients, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Put a layer of Tortilla chips on a cookie sheet. Spray lightly with Canola Oil then sprinkle generously with Cinnamon sugar. Turn the chips over and repeat the process.  Bake for 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.

TO BUILD YOUR STRAWBERRY AMBROSIA NACHOS:
