Tortilla Hand Pies
Makes 12
Ingredients
- ¾ cup fresh raspberries
- ½ cup diced fresh strawberries
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 12 street taco flour tortillas
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add all berries, and toss with lemon juice. Add granulated sugar, flour, salt, and ginger, tossing to coat. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each tortilla.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush egg wash along edge of tortilla. Fold over edges and press together firmly to seal, crimping with a fork. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- In a deep pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°. Fry pies, 2 to 3 at a time, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon or spider strainer, and let drain on paper towels. Dust pies with confectioners’ sugar, if desired. Best served same day.
