We are going to have a Mexican food day in my Spanish class. I want a vegetarian recipe or a dessert if you don’t care. Something that isn’t to hard to make. Thanks Everyone!!!

I am in a spanish class and we have to bring in a Hispanic influenced food, I want to do a dessert, so do you have any easy, tasty recipe’s that are seen comonly in America and are Hispanic inluenced? They need to be tasty because I have to share with the class. AT LEAST 25 it needs to make. I really apreciate your help, and It would be best if you have tried the recipe personaly and enjoyed it, so much that you would share it with others for a grade. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR RECIPES THAT YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED BEFORE AND THINK IT “LOOKS” WONDERFUL! Thanks a ton! Adios!

I was in New Mexico a few years ago and the peoples place i was eating at had a Mexican cook. She made these fried pockets of dough that for dinner we stuffed with burger lettuce tomatoes and sauce. For dessert we filled them with sliced bananas whip cream and honey. They are about the size of an open hand (outspread fingers) to a closed fist at about 3 to 4 inches thick of an open pocket. They are thin and pillow-like. I saw them being eaten by an illegal immigrant Mexican family on Border Wars last month… They didn’t put a name to them. They are not ‘Navajo Tacos’ or any example of Sopapillas I can find. Both are too flat. Maybe a mod of a Sopapilla recipe would work? A name of the food would be excellent but if someone has a recipe with no name or a type of very large very puffy sopapilla that’d be cool too.
they are not rolled or seamed or folded. its one piece of dough fried in a pan. it goes in looking like a thick tortilla and comes out golden and hollow and puffy. round almost.
not an empanada. i have looked at each of your links and googled what everyone has said. empanadas have a folded side. because they dont puff on thier own. i am an excellent cook and frequently eat empanadas. they arent the same. im sorry.
