Wow could today already really be May 5th? I'm so excited summers almost here! Happy Cinco De Mayo!

I love Cinco De Mayo simply because it's one of those great reason's to eat Mexican food and drink margarita's which is defiantly on the top of my all time favorite things list! 

In case you need an easy sweet treat for dessert these Cinnamon Sugar Tortillas are a favorite in our household. These are my version of Bunuelos or better know as Elephant Ears at the fair.

The kids beg for me to make these every time we have Homemade Soft Flour Tortillas.

When I'm feeling fancy we even drizzle them with a little strawberry puree and whipped cream.

Here's all my favorite Cinco De Mayo Recipes in case you need a few more ideas.

Here's how I make Cinnamon Sugar Tortillas a favorite Mexican Tortilla dessert:

Stir together:

• 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar 
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

In a heavy duty skillet melt 1 tablespoon Butter over medium-high heat.

Add 1 uncooked Homemade Flour Tortilla  and cook until bubbly and lightly brown about 1 1/2-2 minutes. Flip tortilla and brown other side.

These are really good with a drizzle of strawberry puree and whip cream in case your looking for something a little bit fancier to impress your guests. Be warned you'll find yourself eating more then your share of Cinnamon Sugar Tortillas! It's hard to eat just one!
