Ingredients
- 1 flour tortilla
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
-
Prepare Tortillas: Begin by cutting each flour tortilla into 8 wedges. This will create perfectly bite-sized pieces for frying.
-
Heat Oil: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of tortilla in; if it sizzles and floats to the surface, the oil is hot enough.
-
Fry Tortillas: Working in batches, carefully add a few tortilla wedges to the hot oil. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy, usually about 1-2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer the fried tortillas to a plate lined with paper towels or paper bags to drain any excess oil.
-
Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Once all the tortilla chips are fried and drained, transfer them to a large paper bag. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and cinnamon until well combined. Pour the cinnamon sugar mixture over the tortilla chips in the paper bag.
-
Shake to Coat: Roll down the top of the paper bag to seal it, then gently shake the bag to evenly coat the chips with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Ensure that all the chips are well coated for maximum flavor.
-
Serve: Transfer the coated Bunelos Dessert chips to a serving platter or bowl, and serve them immediately while they’re still warm and crispy. Enjoy the delightful crunch and sweet cinnamon flavor of this Tex Mex-inspired dessert!
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the cinnamon sugar mixture for a sweet and salty contrast.
- You can customize this recipe by using flavored tortillas, such as whole wheat or flavored varieties like spinach or tomato, for a unique twist on this classic dessert.
- Bunelos Dessert is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Simply reheat them in a toaster oven or oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to regain their crispiness before serving.
Indulge in the simple pleasure of Bunelos Dessert – a quick and easy treat that brings the flavors of the Southwest straight to your kitchen!
