Equipment
- Skillet
- Oven
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1/8 cup Cinnamon
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 10 pieces Tortillas
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix together Cinnamon and Sugar very well.
- In a Dutch oven, or large skillet heat the Vegetable oil to 350 degrees. If you do not have a thermometer, you can set it on medium-high, but be careful to watch that it doesn't get too hot and begin to smoke.
- Quarter the Tortillas and deep fry 2-4 at a time. Allow them to cook on one side for about 30 seconds or until golden brown, turn over, and repeat.
- When both sides are brown take out, and place on paper towels to drain.
- While the Tortillas are draining liberally sprinkle with Cinnamon and Sugar mixture.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover crispitos in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed fresh but can last a day or two.
- Freezing: You can freeze the prepared crispitos before frying. Just thaw them in the fridge before frying for a quick snack!
- Pairing: These crispitos pair wonderfully with a side of guacamole or salsa.
- Variation: Try adding different fillings like cheese or beans for a heartier version.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a refreshing salad for a balanced meal.
