Ingredients
Tortillas and Topping
- 4 flour tortillas (soft)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp sugar
Fruit and Cream Cheese
- 8 tbsp whipped cream cheese
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1/2 cup mango
- 1 kiwi
- 1/4 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Cut the strawberries, mango, kiwi, and blueberries into bite-sized pieces. Feel free to substitute or add your favorite fruits as desired.
- Make Strawberry Salsa: Place half of the strawberries into a blender or food processor with a dash of cinnamon and sugar. Purée until smooth, adding about a tablespoon of water to help blend if needed, creating a sweet strawberry salsa.
- Make Cinnamon Sugar Butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the cinnamon and sugar until well combined to create a flavorful butter mixture.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Warm each tortilla in the skillet until soft and pliable. Then, use a pastry brush to coat one side of each tortilla evenly with the cinnamon sugar butter mixture.
- Assemble Cream Cheese Layer: Spread 2 tablespoons of whipped cream cheese onto each buttered tortilla. Drizzle with honey to add a touch of sweetness and moisture.
- Add Fruit and Salsa: Arrange the fresh fruit over the cream cheese layer. Finally, drizzle the prepared strawberry salsa on top of the fruit to finish your vibrant, flavorful fruit tacos.
Notes
- You can substitute any fresh fruits you prefer or have on hand, such as peaches, raspberries, or bananas.
- Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or granola for extra crunch if desired.
- For a dairy-free version, use a vegan cream cheese alternative and plant-based butter.
- Serve immediately to maintain the best texture and freshness of the tortillas and fruit.
