Answer 4

I have two EASY ways when you need them quick. One way is to just fry flour tortilla shells until brown and crispy then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Another is to take already made bread dough like Rhodes bread dough that is in the freezer, take off little pieces, roll it out, fry it and do the cinnamon sugar thing..these are a snap!!
