Fried Cinnamon Strips

Recipe View In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Seal the bag tightly and toss well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the vegetable oil into a deep fryer or a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature control. (Heating time: 5-7 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully place 4 or 5 tortilla strips into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer or skillet. Fry the tortilla strips until they turn a beautiful golden brown color, approximately 30 seconds per batch. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried tortilla strips from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. (Frying time: 30 seconds per batch)

Recipe View While the fried tortilla strips are still warm, immediately place them into the bag containing the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Reseal the bag and gently shake to coat the strips evenly on all sides. Ensure each strip is generously covered with the sweet and spicy mixture. (Coating time: 1-2 minutes per batch)

Recipe View Serve the fried cinnamon strips immediately while they are still warm and crispy. Alternatively, store them in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crunch. Enjoy! (Serving time: Immediately)
