Dessert "Nachos"

Necessity is the mother of invention. While dessert is not a necessity, we do like to have it frequently around here! :) This came about after a moment of creativity, and being about to cook uninterrupted.




What you'll need:


2 whole wheat tortillas
1/2 cup sour cream
2 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. butter (roughly)
sliced strawberries
1/8 - 1/4 cup sugar
1/8 cup cinnamon (roughly)
a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips
shredded coconut for garnish

Directions: 

1. Cut each tortilla into quarters so that you have 8 triangles. Mix cinnamon and sugar so that you have a homogenous mixture.

2. Place 1 Tbsp. butter in a warm skillet until it melts and coats the bottom of the skillet (do not let it burn or bubble). Place 4 tortilla triangles in the skillet at a time and coat both sides with butter. Cover heavily with the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Cook on low heat for about 3 minutes or until the edges start to curl. Remove from skillet and place on hard surface (a plate works great) to let cook and harden. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

3. While the tortillas are cooking, prepare the toppings. Mix together the sour cream, honey and a dash of cinnamon. Slice the strawberries.

4. Once the tortilla chips have cooled and hardened, place the on the bottom of a bowl or plate. Top with strawberries, sour cream mixture and chocolate chips. Garnish with coconut.

Makes 2 generous servings. Bon appetite!
