Sopaipillos

I'm not sure exactly how 'traditional' this recipe is but I can tell you it is delicious, fast and easy.

I don't even remember where I got the recipe from I've had it for so many years. And the bonus is you will have extra chocolate sauce and lasts for 3 days in the fridge and is delicious over ice cream.

Chocolate Sauce:

1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

Pinch of salt

1/2 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3 Tbs. unsalted butter

1/2 tsp. vanilla

Sopaipillos:

Oil for frying

Flower tortillas cut in strips or triangles

Powdered sugar for dusting

Bring to a boil 1/4 Cup of water, sugar and salt stirring until the sugar has desolved. Wisk in cocoa until smooth.  Remove from heat and add the butter and vanilla.

Heat oil in a pan until approximately 350 degrees.  In small batches fry the tortillas turning once.

Place tortillas on a paper towel or cooling rack and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Plate and drizzle with chocolate sauce.

Enjoy!
