Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces flour tortillas
- 100 grams sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut each flour tortilla into 6-8 triangular pieces using a knife or pizza cutter.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. The oil should reach a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping a small piece of tortilla into the oil—it should sizzle immediately.
Fry a few tortilla triangles at a time in the hot oil, turning them occasionally, for about 1-2 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried tortilla pieces and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the tortilla pieces are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Repeat the frying and coating process with the remaining tortilla triangles.
Serve the Cinnamon Crispas warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
