ingredients
-
Baked Tortilla Shell
- 10 inches flour tortillas
- cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon
-
Filling
- 1 cup strawberry
- 1 cup fresh peach (optional)
- 1⁄2 cup blueberries (optional)
- 1 cup honeydew melon (optional)
-
Topping
- 1⁄4 cup whipped cream, or
- 2 tablespoons Cool Whip, or
- 1⁄4 cup vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (optional)
directions
- Baked Tortilla shell:.
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Place flour tortilla on flat surface, completely moisten the top side with a little water using a pastry brush or fingertips. Place the tortilla in a tortilla baking mold that has been sprayed with cooking spray. The dry side will become the inside of the "bowl".
- Generously pray the inside of the "bowl" with cooking spray (or using pastry brush, brush generously with melted butter) and sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar.
- Bake from 5 to 10 minutes on center oven rack. Watch closely, sugar can burn quickly. Brown to your liking.
- Filling:.
- Prepare the fruit by washing, removing stems, seeds, etc., and cutting into bite sized peices.
- One "bowl" will require about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of fruit of your choice. I used all strawberries this time since they have just come in season.
- Be creative, mix fruits, go tropical!, add some granola, drizzle with chocolate syrup, top with ice cream if you prefer it over whipped cream.

I come from a very large family which attributed to my mother spending a great deal of her time in the kitchen cooking, cleaning, and preparing. I was fascinated at how she prepared wonderful dishes (especially desserts) without using a cookbook. We grew many of our own fruits and vegetables and my summers were spent washing jars and preparing fruit and vegetables for canning. I dreaded the mountains of green beans, tomatoes, peaches, etc., etc. that had to be picked, washed, peeled, snapped.... More than anything, I hated spending my summer washing jars!
But now, I wouldn't trade that kind of upbringing for anything. I'm glad I learned how to do all those things because it's becoming a lost art. It really was a simpler time then and I'm a much better person for knowing how to do all those 'old fashioned' things.
In my early years of learning to cook, I watched Julia Child on PBS every chance I got. I was so thrilled when I was about 11, my mother let me prepare Julia's Pastry Tarts. If I remember correctly they didn't turn out so well but it didn't matter.
Oddly, today, I enjoy reading cookbooks and recipes even more than actually cooking.
