These dessert tacos bring back so many amazing memories. I remember when my mom would pan fry a tortilla, add a little butter, cinnamon, and sugar; and my brother and I would chow-down on it!

Or even better, our favorite Mexican restaurant served up an amazing dessert called sopapillas! These are a tortilla-like pastry that is fried up, and usually served with honey.

When we made these dessert tacos, they were devoured in a matter of minutes! One of the best things about them is how creative you can get with the filling.

Simple and sweet snacks like that bring back the fondest memories! Those traditions have continued to play out for my kiddos to this day.

The filling ideas are virtually endless. Use whatever you have on hand. It’s a great treat to have the kiddos help you make.

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour?

No. Flour tortillas tend to puff up a bit when they are fried. This is the fluffy-like texture you want for a dessert taco. Cinnamon and sugar will also stick to the flour tortilla more.

Can I make the dessert taco shell in my air fryer instead of using cooking oil?

Yes you can make the taco shell in the air fryer. Keep in mind that you will have to manipulate the tortilla so it forms into a taco shell.

How long do I fry the tortilla?

Depending on how hot the oil is will determine how long you fry the tortilla. I recommend heating the oil over medium on the stove.
Fry each side of the tortilla until it is golden brown.

Be sure to submerge the tortilla completely while it fry’s so that the inside can brown as well.

Dessert does not get much easier than this! As I mentioned, have fun with the fillings. Get the kiddos involved- with the coating and filling part of the recipe. Of course a grown-up should do all the frying!
