So, even though the actual anniversary was low-key, he grilled fajitas and I wanted to be in charge of dessert (being preggo with lil Baby O gives me even more of a sweet tooth). I wanted to make cheesecake, but he jokingly suggested sopapillas and started walking down the grocery aisle saying "SO-pa-PEE-yas!" in a high-pitched weird voice.
Then I thought about it... and it sounded delish. It could be my crazy craving, but I wanted to make it.
Have you non-Texans (I say that like it's a curse... ha) ever heard of this or had them before? I know it's a Tex-Mex thing.
I will admit, I wasn't super hardcore about the sopapillas, as I didn't make the dough myself. I know the sopapilla purists are probably cringing as they read this. Well, my way was actually really easy, and paired with a bowl of vanilla ice cream, it was heaven.
Here's what I did:
- Quartered some flour tortillas
- Heated some vegetable oil in a skillet
- Fried those babies up
- Rolled them around in a cinnamon/sugar mixture
- Ate them with vanilla ice cream
Here's what I regret:
- Not smothering it in honey. I even have some in the pantry. Silly Meg.

Those look AMAZING, and they were super easy which makes me super happy! I'm gonna make some this weekend I think. But I won't forget the honey-- I love honey! :)
Looks really good! As a non-Texan :P, I've had them before in Mexican restaurants but never homemade. Sounds easy enough- I'll have to try it!
Sounds like a wonderful anniversary night. And have a great time tonight! I love amazing Italian restaurants. :)
wow...i never knew making sopopillas could be so easy!! i love them so much. Miss them here in D.C., along with anything resembling passable tex-mex!
even though i don't know greg, i'm literally imagining him saying sopapillas in that high voice--boys are so weird, aren't they??!!

I've never heard of or had them but they look yum! Maybe I'll have to try...!
mmm! looks delish! in all honesty, most texas born hispanics make them this way, along with most tex-mex restaurants. it just makes sense!
if you you make cuts smaller and pan fry them a little longer you can make cinnamon crisps... and it's super yummy too!
YUM!!! Those look delish!!
Yummy! Sopapillas are wonderful! Yours look very pretty!
omg yummm!!!!

They look and sound delish! And yes, I've heard of sopapillas even though I'm a non-Texan. :)
They look perfect!! Now I'm craving soapapillas.... I wonder if I could get an order and just have them for lunch...
Maybe I should just stick to making my own and stuffing my face in the privacy of my own home...
When are you coming to my house to make these??
Oh my yummy. That looks faboosh. If i were not on le diet I would be consuming my weight in those.
:)
Glad y'all had an awesome anniversary!! Enjoy your din din tonight!!!
i make them the same way and I love them... one day i'll brave the dough and make them from scratch.
Those look so good! But how could you not put honey on them?? ;) Have fun tonight!!
You are so fancy! Have a great weekend! sending you an Asian picture ASAP!
How about I come over? With the wee one? You know, some practice for you! And you make these! :)
I have never had sopapillas but they LOOK delicious. Alas! After my move to my own place, I still am lacking in kitchen-wares. I don't even have pans yet!! Yikes.
I've never had them (but I've seen them in places)... your recipe looks good - I might try them! (I love that you guys were actin' a fool in the grocery store!)
*Happy anniversary!
Ya know...if I were looking for a wife, I think you'd be it. You just seem to do it all. You're pretty great. LOL
My hubs introduced these to me when we got married. He must have picked up the recipe when he lived in Texas for like 9 months. I haven't tried them with ice cream yet though! Or honey!
Mmmm...those sopapillas look so good! The last time I had those was at this place in Colorado called "Casa Bonita." It was highlighted in a South Park episode--it's a crazy Mexican restaurant where people dive into pools while you eat..very weird. Anyways, this reminded me of that but these look way tastier. Glad to be a new follower. :)
yep i'm sooooo gonna make these tonight. with a side of coffee ice cream...(it's all i got on hand) mmmmmmmmm
yum yum YUM!! and OMG what were you thinking, no honey!!!?? ha! That just means you'll be forced to make them again! :)
Yum, L-O-V-E sopapillas. I drown mine in butter with a touch of honey. Delish!
