Summer is officially here! What better way to welcome its arrival than with dessert. In true fashion, this recipe is quick and easy to make.
We usually have leftover tortillas in our freezer and this is the perfect way to put them to use. The cinnamon sugar adds a touch of sweetness to the tortilla cups that complement the berries so well. It’s the perfect light dessert. Bet you can’t eat just one.
