Ingredients
- Flour Tortillas: High-quality, pliable tortillas.
- Mexican Hot Chocolate Mix: Such as Abuelita or Ibarra, grated or finely chopped.
- Cinnamon: Ground, to enhance flavor.
- Cayenne Pepper: Optional, for a subtle kick.
- Mini Chocolate Chips: For added chocolatey goodness.
- Marshmallow Fluff or Mini Marshmallows: For a creamy, gooey texture.
- Heavy Cream: To create a rich chocolate sauce.
- Oil for Frying: Neutral-flavored oil such as vegetable or canola.
- Powdered Sugar: For dusting before serving.
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the Mexican hot chocolate mix, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix until smooth and allow to cool slightly.
- Spread marshmallow fluff or mini marshmallows on one side of each flour tortilla.
- Tightly roll each tortilla into a cigar shape, encasing the marshmallow filling.
- In a frying pan, heat about 1-2 inches of oil over medium-high heat. Fry the rolled tacos until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- If thickened, gently reheat the chocolate sauce until pourable. Drizzle or pipe over the tacos.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
Notes
Serve the Mexican Hot Chocolate Rolled Tacos with a side of Mexican hot chocolate, horchata, or coffee for an indulgent experience. Consider setting up a dessert taco bar for guests to customize their tacos with various fillings and toppings.
