    Over 200 recipes!  Tasty.  Frugal.  Includes the approximate cost per serving. 

    Loved this Recipe:

    1 package flour tortillas

    Sugar/Cinnamon Mixture for coating.

    Oil

    Heat oil (1/4 to 1/2 inch deep) in fry pan.  Put 1 tortilla in for about 5-10 seconds. Turn with tongs and do the other side. After it is turned it will "puff" up.  Remove from pan with tongs and put in a container with the cinnamon/sugar mixture--put the lid on the container & shake to "coat" with the mixture.

    These cost approximately 20 cents to make at home (10-12 cents for the tortilla, another 8-10 cents for topping & oil to fry them in).  At fairs & such these cost at least $3.00 & up! Other toppings such as powdered sugar (plain or flavored) or cocoa could be used instead of the cinnamon/sugar mixture.

    Need some new ideas for menu planning?  Shew, I did.
