Questions
Are sopapillas similar to beignets? Yes, to me this Mexican dessert is really similar to to the French beignets. But, sopapillas are a little lighter and flakier than the French dessert.
Why are my sopapillas not puffing up? They may not be puffing up because the oil maybe too hot or cold. If you get in a hurry and don’t let the oil get hot enough (I’ve done that) the sopapilla dough won’t puff like it should.
What can you put on a sopapilla? You can put cinnamon and sugar, just sugar and powered sugar on the sopapilla. And then you can drizzle honey over the sopapilla.
Can you refrigerate sopapillas? Yes, you can refrigerate the fried sopapillas and the sopapilla dough. To me they’re better freshly fried. But, they’re still really good after you have refrigerated them.
Can you reheat the sopapillas in a air fryer? Yes, you can reheat sopapillas in a air fryer. You can also reheat them in the oven.
What does a sopapilla taste like? A sopapilla tastes kind of like a doughnut. Most of the time they are served with a cinnamon and sugar mixture sprinkled on top. And honey drizzled over them. I also think the sopapillas would be good with chocolate drizzled on top.

Instructions
The first thing you do is cut the flour tortilla. I use a pizza cutter and cut the tortillas in quarters like the picture shows below.
Pour some oil in a pan and turn the stove on medium heat. You should have about a 1/4″ of oil in the bottom of the pan. To save oil I like to use a smaller pan so it doesn’t take as much oil to fill the bottom of the pan.
After the oil has heated fry the tortilla quarters. Fry until the tortilla is golden brown or as dark as you prefer. Flip the tortilla over and fry the other side.
After you have fried the tortilla, place on a plate and sprinkle the sugar cinnamon mixture on the tortilla quarters.
Drizzle the honey over the tortilla and serve. These are best served hot to me and since there so easy to make I just make these whenever I want them.
