7-8 flour tortillas (10 inch) – use corn tortillas for a gluten-free dessert

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

¼ cup Unflavored EVOO *

4 cups cut fruit (banana, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries)

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a pie pan or similar flat dish until well combined

 

Working one at a time, brush both sides of the flour tortilla with the EVOO and press into the sugar mixture, flip and press into sugar mixture again.

 

Stack 2-3 sugar coated tortillas and cut into 8-12 wedges per tortilla. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Arrange wedges in a single layer on multiple baking sheets. Bake each tray for 10 minutes, remove, flip the pieces, and return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minute until golden. Cool completely

Notes

* There are no easy substitutes for the Almond Crème and Pistachio Crème without completely changing this dessert – you can use a Nutella or caramel or chocolate sauce instead. The Hazelnut or Amaretto vinegar reduction adds nice sweet and tangy nuttiness to the dessert. Any fruity vinegar reduction or a drizzle of an Aged Balsamic will provide the tangy balance needed for this sweet dessert. All the highlighted products can be purchased at Oil & Vinegar stores.
