BARTLETT PEAR CRISP WITH CINNAMON TORTILLA CHIPS AND VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Slice 2 Bartlett pears in half, brush with melted butter and place skin side down on the grill for 20 minutes.

When pears are starting to get tender, sprinkle crispy topping on the pears for the last 10 minutes of grilling time. Meanwhile, brush fresh flour tortillas with melted butter and grill 2 minutes each side. Remove from grill, brush a little butter on 1 side and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. When cooled, cut tortillas in quarters to be served later. Remove pears from grill, placing each pear in a single serving bowl with a dollop of vanilla ice cream surrounded by cinnamon tortilla chips. Serve immediately.
