Mexican Crispas

To celebrate the feast of St. Juan Diego today we made Mexican Crispas.
I referred to them here in this post, but for you visual readers (like myself) here are better directions.
All you need is:
Granulated sugar
Cinnamon
Oil (I use Canola)
Flour tortillas (I use store bought, I'm kind of the Semi-Semi Homemade cook)

Cut tortillas into triangles and fry in oil, browning both sides.

Then, place onto paper towels to drain a little of the oil, but not too long, just long enough to put more into the pan, then put the hot ones into a mixture of Cinnamon and Sugar in a bag, and shake to coat.
That's it.
Then eat warm or cold.
But, they are really good warm!
Enjoy!
I've been making these since I was a teen, and that was over 20 years ago!

  3. Am now getting the hang of making a few in my air fryer, subbing agave for granulated..blend agave and choice of oil (or lite spray on) brush it on tortillas, sprinkle cinnamon (herbs are yummy too) and choose your crispness to suit preferences.
