Step 1

Heat 2 tbsp oil in skillet filled set over medium-heat. Working in batches, fry tortillas for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp, adding more oil as needed. Drain on paper towel-lined tray; set aside.

Step 2

Melt butter in large skillet set over medium heat. Add brown sugar and corn syrup. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until brown sugar dissolves and starts to caramelize. Add pineapple spears. Continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until sugar and pineapple is tender.

Step 3

Remove pan from heat and add rum. Transfer pan back to heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until sauce is thickened to caramel sauce consistency. (If desired, flambé rum by igniting sauce with long match or barbecue lighter. The alcohol should burn off in a few seconds and the flame will extinguish. If flame does not extinguish, cover pan with lid.) Finish sauce with vanilla and lime juice.

Step 4

Serve pineapple foster over crispy tortillas. Finish with scoop of ice cream.
