Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • Whipped cream (1 cup)
  • Brown sugar (1/2 cup)
  • Oats (1/2 cup)
  • Unsalted butter, melted (1/4 cup)
  • Flour tortillas (8)
  • Cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Cornstarch (2 tablespoons)
  • Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
  • Apricots, pitted and chopped (2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the chopped apricots, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Brush the flour tortillas with melted butter on both sides. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until crispy.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the oats and brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the baked tortillas.
  5. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the oat crumble is golden and crispy.
  6. Remove the tortillas from the oven and let them cool slightly. This will help the tacos to keep their shape when filled.
  7. To assemble the tacos, spoon the apricot filling onto each crispy tortilla shell.
  8. Top each taco with a generous dollop of whipped cream just before serving. Enjoy while still warm.
