Yield 10 servings

Who knew how far you could stretch a bag of flour tortillas? This quick elephant ears recipe is a three-ingredient dessert to whip up when you’re craving something sweet, but the fridge is almost bare.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Oil for frying
10 flour tortillas (6 inches)

Directions

In a mixing bowl with a lid, or large resealable plastic bag, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside. In a small skillet, heat 1/2 in of oil. Place one tortilla at a time in skillet, cook for 5 seconds; turn and cook 10 seconds longer or until browned. Place in sugar mixture; toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Our eight children love helping make these sweet crunchy treats. We fry flour tortillas for a few seconds in oil, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. They're fun to make for a large group. I usually do the frying, then have one of the older kids add the coating.
