INGREDIENTS

MAKE IT

Step 1

In a large mixing-bowl, whisk together the sugar and the cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat (medium-high) 1 ½ inches of vegetable oil to 300˚F in a frying pan at least 3 inches deep.

Step 3

With the kitchen tongs, slowly place one Fresqui-ricas tortilla into the hot oil. Allow it to bubble up and get crispy (about 2 minutes), flipping over until golden brown.

Step 4

With a slotted spoon, pull the tortilla out of the oil and place on a plate covered with a paper towel, to drain excess oil.

Step 5

Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.

Step 6

Place each warm tortilla into the mixing-bowl and coat evenly with sugar and cinnamon.

Step 7

Set the buñuelos on a serving platter and enjoy!

Step 8

Drizzle dulce de leche over buñuelos if desired.

Step 9

Prepare hot chocolate with Abuelita and serve with buñuelos.
