Cinnamon Flour Tortillas
This is a simple and delicious treat that can be made in a pinch. We recommend 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.
Ingredients
- 5 5-inch flour tortillas, quartered
- ¾ c white sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp allspice
- 2 pinches fresh nutmeg
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 15 oz sunflower or canola oil or vegetable oil, or enough to fill the bottoms of a small Dutch oven 1”
- Nutella or jam for serving (dipping), optional
Instructions
- In a small Dutch oven or a similar vessel with high walls, heat 1 inch of oil to 375° F.
- Prepare the sugar mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Set aside.
- Cut the tortillas into the shapes or sizes (triangles) that you want to serve.
- Prepare a sheet pan with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Fry 4-6 tortilla pieces at a time for about 30 seconds each side. Using a slotted spoon to flip the tortillas and place onto the paper towels. Remove from oil and let the excess oil drip back into the pan.
- Immediately dredge or sprinkle tortillas with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Transfer to a wire rack until ready to serve with Nutella or another sweet condiment.
