Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  2. Brush the flour tortillas with melted butter on both sides and sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Turn a muffin pan upside down and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Fold the tortillas into a taco shape. Place the folded tortillas between the pan grooves and bake for 15 minutes or until the shells hold their shape and are lightly golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  3. Preheat the grill to medium. Mix together the pineapple, kiwi and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
  4. Grease the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Grill the fruit 2-3 minutes per side until softened and charred. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
