What to do with tortillas? Part 2

I had five tortillas left after last night's dinner to do something with tonight.  My friend Kim said that tortillas freeze nicely, but since we only had five left, I thought I would do something desserty with them.  If you are going to freeze your tortillas, Kim said to double-bag them for freshness.  This is a great tip to have for the future!  For tonight's dessert, I fried the tortillas just like last night.  Then I sprinkled them with sugar and cinnamon and topped them with chocolate, honey and whip cream.  Mmmmm!  It was excellent.  A light, easy dessert for our families to enjoy.

2. Heat a thin layer of oil in your frying pan.  Put tortilla triangles into pan, frying one side, then flipping and frying the other side.  Fry until they are a light brown.
3. When removing from pan, immediately sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on both sides of tortilla triangle. 
4. When finished frying all triangles, arrange on plates.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar again.
