Are Cinnamon Oranges an authentic Mexican recipe?

[Katy Belle]

DS13 has to "cook" something for his Spanish class tomorrow. I googled "authentic mexican recipes" and it shows this recipe for Cinnamon oranges... which is basically to slice oranges and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Certainly within our abilities and time constraints! Just wanting to ensure its authentic...she wants nothing Tex Mex.

TIA!
Katy

I asked my legal resident Mesican 'n she sez no.

Cinnamon oranges is a Bobby Flay recipe 'n he's no Mesican.

I saw Bobby's recipe too! But I got this off of "authentic mexican recipes .com" which cracks me up... and made me suspicious.

We will do Mexican Wedding Cakes (cookies).

Thanks!

never heard of it. One year I made .....



I cut up flour tortillas into triangles.
Fry in hot oil.
Then put on a cookie sheet.
Then sprinkle with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
Then let cool then put in a ziploc bag for the nextday to take to school. If you put the chips in hot in the ziploc it will burn a hold through it-lol! Must use Flour tortillas not corn.
DD took these to her Kindergarten cultural day and were a hit.


At x-mas time these are made but the whole round flout tortilla is fried .Then spinkled with the cinnamon and sugar or some make a sweet syrup(i dont care for the syrup)

These are called bunelos (i think that how you spell it)

ok just asked hubby he is mexican (lived there till he was 17) and he said they dont put cinn. on oranges but they do take crushed dry peppers (i think he is talking about cayen pepper) and mix it with salt and put it on oranges. He said they do this with mangos too. He is trying to convince me that I would like it. I am not buying it lol

 

[Diegosmom]

oh and hubby says bunelos are more like bread then tortillas...but everyone makes thing different

The dough for the Mexican Wedding Cakes is chilling and DS is in bed. He will get up early to bake them. Fingers crossed they will be good.

We make these this way & we call them buñuelos. I know that's kind of cheating, but it works in a pinch.

Here's a more realistic buñuelo, though there's also the bread type.

The real bunuelos are light and airy, crispy not chewy. That photo made my mouth water.

I only do the triangle cuts if your making for a big group. I cant imagine frying 28-35 round tortillas for kids that might might not eat them,. the triangles is good for a group/potluck to taste.

Different parts of Mexico do things differently. To us buñuelo looked like the photo posted-flour tortillas not bread. My mother made them just like the picture or with a syrup type thing, thats how they made them in her family Sinaloa Mx.
