To start off, let's make the tortilla dough by mixing the flour and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add in the vegetable oil and warm water, and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, let's prepare the sweet filling. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into small balls and roll them out into thin circles. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the tortillas for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Once cooked, transfer to a plate and cover with a clean cloth to keep them warm.
To assemble the sweet tortillas, spread a spoonful of the sweet filling onto one half of the tortilla and fold it over to create a half-moon shape. Return the tortilla to the skillet and cook for an additional minute on each side, until the filling is warm and gooey.
Once all the tortillas are filled and cooked, serve them warm and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some extra brown sugar and cinnamon on top before serving.
This Mexican sweet tortilla recipe is not only easy to make, but it also allows for customization. You can add your own twist by using different types of fillings such as Nutella, fruit preserves, or even savory options like shredded cheese and diced vegetables. Get creative and make this dish your own!
