Last Sunday was Cinco de Mayo. \u00c2\u00a0We have zero Mexican heritage, but we “celebrate” it anyway. \u00c2\u00a0Well, we use it as a good excuse to have Mexican food for dinner. \u00c2\u00a0So, even though Sundays are nuts around here with church and then 4 hours of youth choir practice (first concert this Sunday!), I still pulled together a big taco and tortilla bar. \u00c2\u00a0It was delish.<\/p>\n

And, because we wanted the celebration to continue just a wee bit longer, I found this fun dessert online and decided to give it a try. \u00c2\u00a0We loved it so much, I made them again tonight.<\/p>\n

This is complicated, so don’t get lost…<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Take a stack of soft tortillas and cut them across in 1\/4″ strips, and then the other way down the middle once.<\/p>\n

Heat a deep pot of oil on medium-medium high heat. \u00c2\u00a0We were somewhere in the middle of the two.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Dump about 5 in the oil, and watch them sizzle. \u00c2\u00a0If they don’t sizzle a lot, your oil isn’t hot enough.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Using a hand strainer, stir and flip till they’re nice and golden brown. \u00c2\u00a0It took ours maybe 20 seconds each batch.<\/p>\n

Take them out and drain on paper towels. \u00c2\u00a0Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon sugar. \u00c2\u00a0It helps to have two working on this at a time…Marley was my cinnamon sugar girl both nights.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

They’re so good…reminds me of the twists at Taco B*ll, but more substantial and a little chewier. \u00c2\u00a0I used a different kind of tortilla on Sunday, and they puffed up better than these.<\/p>\n

See, I told you it was complicated. \u00c2\u00a0I bet you have tortillas in your fridge right now…you should try these. \u00c2\u00a0Really, you should!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Dylan (the kid with the bottom half of his face covered in cinnamon sugar) dares you…<\/p>\n
