Servings: 10 servings
Cost: $3.24
Equipment
- Large pot for frying
- Candy Thermometer optional, but helpful for maintaining oil temperature
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1-1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 10 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 3 cups canola oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large shallow dish, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Line another shallow dish with paper towels. Place both near the frying area.
- Heat oil to 375°F (190°C) in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot. I use a candy thermometer to ensure the temperature remains consistent.
- Cut tortillas into squares by slicing 5 times vertically and 5 times horizontally. Once the oil is hot, lower a small handful into the oil using a spider strainer. Fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 30-45 seconds.
- Use the strainer to lift chips from the oil, drain on paper towels, and toss in cinnamon sugar mixture while warm.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container.
