Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized flour tortillas
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together until evenly combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Stack the flour tortillas and cut them into quarters to create 4 triangles per tortilla.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Step 4
Carefully add a few tortilla triangles to the skillet, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the fried tortilla triangles to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 6
While the tortilla pieces are still warm, brush them lightly with melted butter using a pastry brush.
Step 7
Immediately sprinkle each buttered tortilla with the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining tortilla pieces, working in small batches.
Step 9
Allow the treats to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them on their own, or pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
