pastry - Cinnamon Shells, w/sweet citrus
1 TEXAS STAR grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
1 TEXAS STAR orange, peeled and sectioned
1/2 fresh pineapple, cored and chopped
3/4 cup strawberries, washed, stemmed and sliced
4 flour tortillas
cinnamon sugar
1/4 cup water
Filling: cream cheese, vanilla pudding, or fruit sorbet
Section the grapefruit and orange capturing the juice for another use. Add
the citrus to the pineapple and strawberries. Refrigerate until ready to
fill tortilla cups. To prepare the tortilla cups, place a tortilla on a
cutting board. Brush each side of the tortilla very lightly with water and
sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Push them down into a small greased soup bowl
or large custard cup to create the shell. Cook in a 400 degree oven for 11
minutes. Let cool completely before removing. After the shell is cooled, add
the cream cheese filling, vanilla pudding or fruit sorbet in the bottom. On
top of that add the grapefruit/orange fruit mixture. The top can be
sprinkled with additional cinnamon sugar or chocolate can be squeezed in a
design across the top.
Serves 4.
