Dessert

Ingredients
3 8” flour tortillas, each cut into 8 triangular pieces
3 tbsp cinnamon
1 cup sugar
¼ cup honey, to garnish
blank
Directions
First, mix your cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl. You’ll be tossing the fried tortillas in this, so there needs to be plenty of space.
In a tall pot or high-sided saucepan, heat a neutral oil (like canola) to 375°F. There should be 1 to 1 ½ inches of oil in the pot. Test the heat by dipping a tortilla triangle inside; it should bubble and sizzle immediately.
Work in batches, frying as many pieces as you can that don’t crowd the pan. They should start to get golden quickly. Flip them over so they’re golden on all sides.
Move tortillas straight from the oil to the cinnamon and sugar mixture, tossing to coat. A slotted spoon or, better yet, a spider strainer works great.
Lay tortilla pieces on plates lined with paper towels, to soak up excess grease.
Once cooled, move to a serving plate. Drizzle generously with honey and serve.
