I needed to make a dessert to go with Carne Asada dinner and wanted to evoke some of the classic flavors of Mexican desserts; buñuelos, cinnamon, coffee, chocolate & CHILE!

I took a new (clean) 2 1/2 inch diameter exhaust pipe connector and wrapped some foil over it. In retrospect, I guess I could have used an empty soup can opened on one end :D

I started with 7 inch flour tortillas and trimmed them down to about 5 1/2 or 6 inches, one at a time I dipped them BRIEFLY in hot oil to make them pliable, draped them over the form, and tied them with twine.

Using tongs, I immersed the tortilla and form into the hot oil until golden brown

The fried tortilla shells were drizzled with chile infused dark chocolate. The buñuelo bar was set up with vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, Kahlua, cinnamon syrup, and whipped cream

And the finished dessert was dusted with a little ground cinnamon to make it all purty
