This was so good.The sauce was not too sweet and complimented the fruit well.I used a pizza cutter to cut the tortillas into wedges,which made it go fast.I ate way too much!!!!Thanks for a great recipe,Karen.

Just what I was looking for. I love using fresh fruits and am always trying to think of ways to use them in desserts. This is a winner!

So So So good!! I'm not sure if I used the same ammounts of fruit, I just put in a whole container of strwberries and the largest cans of pineapple and manderine oranges I could find. I added a cup or so of blueberries. I chopped the strawberries up with a chopper and it made them too fine, died the rest of my fruit pink next time I'll cut them by hand. I also added about 2 Tbs sugar to the fruit since my kiwi were a little sour. I brushed the tortillas with lime juice and left out the cinnamon. The cream cheese sauce was flawless!! My guests raved--this will definately be a summer pot luck staple!
