After a full day on the river, we came home and made a chips and dips board! [Yes, we have a new BLACK ebony line of boards coming out next month!]
How do you make Cinnamon Sugar Fried Flour Tortillas
Set up stations for these easy steps:
- Cut the tortillas (set out a cutting board) – use cookie cutters or cut into triangles. Use larger triangles to not have to be standing by the oil so long.
- Set up a plate with paper towels next to the hot oil.
- Set up the cinnamon and sugar bowl. Wait until the tortillas are WARM (not hot) before adding the cinnamon and sugar.
- Use a heavy bottom skillet that has high walls for safety (no grease fires please)! You’ll also need a thermometer attached to the side to monitor the temperature of the oil.
Whip up this amazing idea for dinner this week!
ENJOY!
