Growing up, my dad used to make us a treat called Mexican Sweethearts. I have no idea if this is actually a traditional Mexican dish - and I have my doubts considering this is the same man who convinced my sister and I that tofu was Chinese bacon... ha! Anyways, Mexican Sweethearts are a great way to use up left-over flour tortillas. There always seem to be a few stragglers after making tacos, enchiladas, etc.
Mexican Sweethearts
Makes: 6 sweethearts
6 flour tortillas (any size)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
butter or margarine
- Mix together the cinnamon and sugar, set aside.
- Heat up a non-stick skillet over medium-medium high heat.
- Once the pan is very hot, place one of the tortillas in the dry pan.
- Cook for about 5 - 10 seconds on each side until they puff up and brown.
- Remove from heat and spread butter on the tortilla so that it melts.
- Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the tortilla, then roll it up like a cigar.
