Cinnamon-Sugar Crisps ("Bunuelos")

1. 1

   On a plate, mix the sugar and cinnamon.

2. 2

   In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pan.

3. 3

   Heat over medium-high heat until a deep frying thermometer, inserted in the oil, reaches 350 degrees F. (If you do not have a thermometer, test the oil with a piece of tortilla, which should sizzle when it touches the oil and should brown in about 2 to 3 minutes.)

4. 4

   One by one, fry tortillas until golden brown.

5. 5

   With a slotted spoon, transfer the crisps to paper towels to drain.

6. 6

   While still warm, transfer to cinnamon-sugar mixture, turn to coat and serve.

   **Cooks note: A fun way to present these crisps is to serve a couple in a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream with fresh, seasonal berries on top.
