Crispy Bites - 3 ingredients!


Super easy and super tasty is such  a winning combination. This is one of my favorite snacks that can be made with just 3 ingredients and almost no preparation. So here goes.

Ingredients

  • Frozen ready to cook tortilla - 1 (You can also make with frozen ready to cook chapathi)
  • Coconut oil (Haven't tried with other oils) 
  • Sugar - 2 to 3 tbsp.

Procedure

  1. Cut up the tortilla/chapathi into your favorite shape. 
  2. Heat oil in a frying pan and add the tortilla/chapathi pieces. The tortilla/chapathi will ball up instantly. 
  3. Move the fried tortilla/chapathi balls onto a plate sprinkled with sugar. Add more sugar to your taste. Mix well and serve.
