Tortilla Shells (good for about 16)

Monterey Jack Cheese

Cilantro

Avocado

Sour Cream

Lettuce

Fresh tomatoes

APPLE CRISP (works with other fruit too)

8 cups peeled and cut apple (peach, rhubarb or berries work great too)

With apples, throw in 2T lemon juice and toss as you cut up the apples to keep them from turning brown.

Put fruit in a 9x13 or two 8x8's -which works great for giving one to a neighbor :)

SAUCE

¾ c sugar

1 ¾ c water

3 T cornstarch

1 ½ tsp vanilla

Cook until thickened & clear

Pour sauce over the fruit

TOPPING:

¾ c melted marg

1 c flour

1 ¾ c oats

1 c brown sugar

3 tsp cinnamon

Mix until crumbly and spread on fruit (don't mix too much – you want it "chunky" - not a solid glob!). Put the 9x13 on a larger cookie sheet to catch spills in the oven :).

Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Serve with vanilla ice cream.

YUM!

NOTE: With peaches I find I need to add about ½ T cornstarch when making the sauce and I like to add ½ tsp nutmeg
