Fried Cinnamon Sugar and Powdered Sugar Tortillas

These are quick, easy, and oh so delicious. I haven't worked up to making my own tortillas yet, but I'm sure they would work great for this. And you can make as many or as few as you want.

The Details:

Heat a half inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place powder sugar in small bowl or plastic bag. Mix together one cup of granular sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon and place in separate bowl or plastic bag. Cut tortillas in to strips or triangles. Drop into hot oil. When tortilla starts to bubble up and bottom side is lightly browned (5 to 10 seconds), flip over and fry other side the same about the same amount of time. Remove and drain on paper towels. Place in either powdered sugar or cinnamon and sugar and coat evenly. Tap lightly to shake off excess sugar. Serve.

Or course you don't have to do both the cinnamon and sugar, and the powdered sugar. You can pick just one. I prefer the cinnamon but I like to give a variety when I'm having others over.

Happy Cooking!

Barbecued Country Style Ribblets

Ok, so 'ribblets' might not be a real word, but it sounds good! I think it describes these small, barbecued, pieces of pork ribs quite well. And makes them sound cute.

The Details:

Cut county style pork rib meat off the bone and into bite sized pieces. Place folded aluminum foil or aluminum pan on hot grill. Place meat on foil and coat in favorite barbecue sauce. Turn meat after a few minutes, and coat with barbecue sauce again. Continue turning, using basting/pastry brush to reapply barbecue sauce each time, until cooked through.

Quick and easy. Could be served as the main dish, or as an appetizer. The day I made these I was needing something more to serve with the rest of the food I was cooking, but needed something smaller than the ribs. So I cut the meat up and threw it on the grill!

Happy Cooking!
