Taco Bell Crispitos

Cinnamon Twists and other sweets have taken the place of Crispitos on the Taco Bell menu – but you can make them at home with our recipe.

Taco Bell’s Crispitos are their version of a traditional and common sweet street food from Mexico called Buñuelos. Along many streets and in urban food markets, you will see small carts and stands where the workers are making and frying their own dough in many different shapes and sizes – from small and round, like doughnut holes, to large and flat, like tortillas. After a dusting of cinnamon-sugar the Buñuelos are enjoyed warm often with a small dip such as honey.

Taco Bell, as it is so good at doing, adapted this already simple recipe, to use product it already had – flour tortillas – and renamed them Crispitos.

With our recipe you can relive the joy of Crispitos by easily make them at home.

Course: Dessert, Kid Favorite, Party Recipe

Cuisine: American, Mexican

Keyword: Mexican, Taco Bell

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup ground Cinnamon
• 1 cup granulated Sugar
• 10 - 12 Flour Tortillas
• Oil for frying
• Honey for dipping

Instructions

• In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar. Mix very well.
• Cut tortillas into quarter wedges. Set aside.
• Prepare a wire rack with a pan underneath (to catch the cinnamon sugar that doesn't hit a Crispito). Or cover a plate with paper towels.
• Place a large skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.
• Add about 2 tablespoons oil and swill to coat.
• When oil is hot and begins to shimmer, add 4 (or more, if the skillet is large enough) tortilla wedges in a SINGLE LAYER to the skillet.
• Deep fry for about 30 seconds, until golden brown on the bottom.
• With thongs, carefully turn over and fry until that side is browned, about 20 seconds.
• Using the thongs, carefully remove the fried dough from the skillet to your wire rack or plate.
• Add a spot more oil to the skillet, if needed.
• Place more tortilla wedges in the skillet.
• While they cook (make sure to watch carefully so they don't burn), liberally sprinkle first batch with the cinnamon-sugar mix. Turn over and sprinkle second side.
• Repeat with all remaining tortilla wedges.
• Serve, warm or at room temperature, with honey.

Pour any remaining Cinnamon-Sugar into a sealable jar or container and store in your spice cabinet. Sealed, it should keep practically forever. Us it to make more Crispitos,  delicious Cinnamon Toast, as an Ice Cream topper or whatever else you can think up.
