Tortas Fritas

Cultural Context

Originating from Argentina, Tortas Fritas are a beloved snack often enjoyed during rainy days or as a street food treat. Traditionally, these fried dough discs are served warm, sometimes with a sprinkle of sugar or a side of dulce de leche, making them a comforting indulgence. Today, they are popular not just in Argentina but across various Latin American countries, each adding their unique twist to this simple yet delightful dish.

Roll each ball out as thin as possible, creating discs.
