Need vs. Want.

Sometimes I have a hard time decifering between the two. Pinterest doesn’t help.

Overall though, I’d like to say I’m fairly practical. I usually stick to what I need – like these nachos. I need.

You need these too.

Incase you need justification: Cinco De Mayo is right around the corner…

Speaking of, did you see what I stuffed my face with for Cinco De Mayo 2010 and 2011?

Now go make these.

Cinnamon Dessert Nachos

10 small (6″) flour tortillas, cut into 1/4′s

2-3 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar

oil (I used canola, for frying)

2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped

1 1/2 cups diced pineapple (I used canned pineapple)

2 bananas, sliced

8 oz. (1/2 package) Chocolate CANDIQUIK Coating

Directions:

Heat approximately 1/2 cup oil in a large fry pan.

Dice up fruit while oil is heating.

Add 4-5 tortillas to hot oil and fry until golden, use tongs to flip tortillas to brown each side (takes about 30 sec- 1 min).

Place chips into a large bowl and sprinkle immediately with cinnamon-sugar.

Repeat with remaining tortillas. *Add additional oil if needed.

Melt CANDIQUIK according to package directions. Dip each tortilla in chocolate coating and place on a large serving plate.

Top tortilla chips with fresh fruit and drizzle with additional chocolate coating if your feeling fancy.

Tip: serve with cinnamon-infused ice cream or whipped cream for an extra delicious treat!

Oh my gosh, cinnamon ice cream on top… what the heck – this would be beyond good.
