We worked super hard to make a gluten free and grain free tortilla that was soft and pliable, but we're not upset when they get fried to a yummy crisp. Behold, COYOTAS BUÑUELOS, our favorite holiday treat!
Serves 4-6
Total Time: 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
2 cups avocado oil
1 cup coconut sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
12 SMALL OR MEDIUM COYOTAS TORTILLAS
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pep your sugar station: Mix sugar and cinnamon in small bowl, and position a sheet tray next to the stove and cover with a paper towel.
2. Preheat the oil: Pour avocado oil into a shallow 12" saute pan, and heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer, the oil is ready when you dip a corner of a tortilla and it immediately begins to sizzle.
3. Fry the tortillas: Working three at a time, slide the tortillas into the hot oil. Use a slotted spoon to submerge each tortilla and fry on the first side for 1 minute. Filp each tortilla and continue frying until crisp, about 1 more minute. Remove the tortillas one at a time, letting excess oil fall into the pan before transferring to the paper lined tray.
4. Sprinkle sugar: While the fried tortillas are still hot and glossy from the oil, sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously over both sides.
5. Serve and enjoy with coffee.
