Bon A Petite!
Chocolate Coconut Filled Tortilla Turnovers
Source: Mission Foods
10 servings
10 Mission® Fajita Size Flour Tortillas
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup coconut, shredded
1 egg beaten with 2 teaspoons water
Vegetable oil
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels
Melt the chocolate in a Pyrex cup over simmering water or in the microwave (microwave chocolate at 50% power for 2 minutes. Stir. If not melted, microwave for 1 minute more at 50% power). Mix in a bowl with the walnuts and the coconut.
Place 1/4 cup mixture in the center of a tortilla, spreading slightly into a circle. Moisten the edges of the tortillas with the egg wash and fold each one over into a half-moon, pressing around the edge.
Heat 1 inch vegetable oil in an 8-inch skillet and fry each turnover until golden on both sides. Remove with a slotted spatula and drain on absorbent paper.
Put confectioners' sugar in a sieve. When the turnovers are cool enough to touch, sprinkle with the sugar.
Serve warm.
