How to Make Dulcitas

  1. Gently heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  2. Soften each corn tortilla by briefly dipping it in the hot oil for a few seconds per side until pliable, then set aside on a plate.
  3. Stack the softened tortillas and tightly roll them up before cutting into 8 equal pieces.
  4. In a small paper bag, thoroughly combine the sugar, cinnamon, and cocoa powder.
  5. Heat the remaining 1/4 cup of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Carefully fry the tortilla pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy. This should take about 1-2 minutes per batch.
  6. Remove the crispy tortilla pieces with a slotted spoon and immediately place them into the paper bag with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  7. Gently shake the bag to fully coat the Dulcitas.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious and crunchy Mexican treats!
