Ingredients
Scale
Taco Shells
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Filling
- 1/2 cup whipped cream or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 cup diced mixed fruit (such as strawberries, mango, kiwi, blueberries, pineapple)
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Tortillas: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush both sides of the tortillas with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over both sides of each tortilla.
- Shape and Bake Shells: Drape each tortilla over two bars of the oven rack to form a taco shape. Bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy. Carefully remove them from the oven and let cool completely.
- Prepare Fruit Filling: While the shells cool, mix the diced mixed fruit in a bowl. If desired, drizzle with honey or agave syrup to add extra sweetness and stir gently to combine.
- Assemble Tacos: Fill each cooled taco shell with a spoonful of whipped cream or vanilla Greek yogurt. Top generously with the prepared fresh fruit mixture.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each taco with fresh mint leaves if using, and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can use store-bought mini dessert taco shells for added convenience.
- For extra crunch and texture, sprinkle granola or chopped nuts over the fruit filling.
- These fruit tacos make a delightful option for brunch, a sweet dessert, or a fun, healthy snack for kids.
