Instructions
 

Make the Taco Shells:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.

      - Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

        - Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.

          - Divide the dough into 6 equal balls, flatten each one into a disc, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

            Bake the Taco Shells:

              - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

                - Roll each disc into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Carefully shape each circle into a taco shell shape by draping over an inverted muffin tin or taco rack.

                  - Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool completely once done.

                    Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:

                      - In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until well blended and creamy.

                        Assemble the Taco Pizzas:

                          - Take the cooled taco shells and fill each one with a generous scoop of the cream cheese filling.

                            - Artfully top with an assortment of mixed berries, banana slices, and kiwi.

                              - Optionally, sprinkle shredded coconut over the top for added texture and flavor.

                                Drizzle and Serve:

                                  - Drizzle honey or agave syrup over the assembled tacos for a touch of sweetness.

                                    - Garnish each taco with mint leaves for a fresh pop of color and flavor.

                                      - Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful Crispy Fruit Pizza Tacos!
