Cinnamon Sugar Bunuelos Recipe With Tortillas

EASY BUñUELOS

Steps:

• In a large pot or skillet, add at least 1 inch of oil and heat over medium-high heat (350F if using thermometer). While the oil is heating, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish and set aside. Fry tortillas 2-3 minutes, flipping about every 15 seconds until golden brown and crisp through. Remove from oil and let the excess oil drip back into the pan. Immediately dredge or sprinkle tortillas with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve immediately.

CINNAMON SUGAR TORTILLA DELIGHT

Steps:

• Spread tortilla with butter-flavored spread; sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Roll into a tube shape, then place on a microwave safe plate. Microwave on High for 30 seconds to warm.

CINNAMON SUGAR BUNUELOS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium to low heat.
• Cut each tortilla into 8 pieces.
• Place in skillet; fry until light brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Drain on paper towel.
• Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon while hot.
• Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding more oil for each batch as needed.

CINNAMON-SUGAR CRISPS ("BUNUELOS")

Steps:

• On a plate, mix the sugar and cinnamon. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pan. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep frying thermometer, inserted in the oil, reaches 350 degrees F. (If you do not have a thermometer, test the oil with a piece of tortilla, which should sizzle when it touches the oil and should brown in about 2 to 3 minutes.) One by one, fry tortillas until golden brown. With a slotted spoon, transfer the crisps to paper towels to drain. While still warm, transfer to cinnamon-sugar mixture, turn to coat and serve.
