A recipe many young bakers first learned in the class was these sugary crispy tortilla hearts. These are a great dessert or sweet treat and a perfect finish to Sesame Scallion Tortilla Tacos.
First, take a tortilla and cut hearts out of it with a pair of kitchen shears. If your young one is helping, they can use safety scissors too. Tortillas are pretty easy to cut through.
By the way, international law dictates that all the scrap pieces are property of the chef and his/her assistant.
Mix 1 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon together in a shallow bowl.
Fry the tortilla hearts in canola oil.
In about 30 seconds you will see them start to turn brown and they will become crisp.
Take them out of the pan with a slotted spatula and drain on paper towels.
Dredge them in the cinnamon sugar mixture and allow to cool.
