Heat the oil to 375F

in an electric deep-fat fiyer or in a deep heavy pot, using a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature. Fry the tortillas, using the compuesta ("little basket") technique

The simplest way is to use a tostada frying basket

To fry, place the tortilla in the basket on top of the hot oil

The edges of the tortilla will flute up around the edges of the basket

Drain the fried tostada shells on absorbent paper towels. Prepare the fruit and place all together in a large bowl

Combine the honey and lime juice

Pour over the fruit and carefully stir to coat the fruit; do not bruise it

Chill until just ready to serve

You can let it marinate up to 2 hours, but not more than that as the fruits will start to droop. Warm the tostada baskets in a 250F

oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until warm and crisp

To serve, place the marinated fruits in the tostada baskets

Try to spoon the fruits in carefully, and artistically arrange the top of each basket

Distribute the juice evenly

Serve immedi- ately

Serves 12.
