The easiest way to make Mexican buñuelos is to fry wheat tortillas in oil until crispy and then roll them in cinnamon sugar. You can fry the tortillas whole or, like Marcela Valladolid, cut them into strips to make small chips. You can also cut out any shapes from the tortillas.

Ingredients:

• 0.5 cups of sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 6 wheat tortillas (20 cm), whole or sliced

Preparation:

Step 1
• On a plate, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Fill a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan halfway with oil. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). If you don't have a thermometer, drop a tortilla into the oil; it should sizzle and brown in about 2-3 minutes. Fry the tortillas, one at a time, until golden brown.
Step 2
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, transfer to the cinnamon-sugar mixture, turn to coat, and serve.
