Hello there! It’s been a while since my last post “Guilty Pleasures” .Truth is this blog was made as a requirement for my Blogging and Social Media Marketing course at my Haaga-Helia exchange BUT I’m planning on continuing with this journey and keep posting and sharing recipes and experiences with you, through this platform.
A week ago was Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican-American celebration that commemorates the Mexican winning Battle of Puebla over the French colonizers back in the days…

So if you’re a fan and lover of Mexican cuisine as I am, you will celebrate this day and will make delicious food to enjoy with friends and family.
Me, my flatmates and friends 🙂
As you know, I’m living in Helsinki now, so I indulged my flatmates with amazing food they haven’t tried before:
– Enchiladas
– Arroz Rojo
– Carnitas
-Choriza&Bean Nacho Casserole
Celebration!: Traditional Mexican Food
The international goodies: Pico de Gallo and Guacamole. The traditional Tres Leches, made by my friend and colleague Maralys Cedeño; and “Fried”cheesecakes made by me, which is the recipe I want to share with you today.
Goodies!
The fried cheesecake is a really really easy recipe. It calls for ingredients that most of you always have on hand because they are so versatile and that make them amazing. Ingredients that go from savory to indulgent and sweet in no time!
Flour tortillas, Creamcheese, sugar, Oranges, Vanilla and cinnamon.
For this you will combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and orange juice until desired sweetness. If for some reason the cream gets to liquid, add flour until you get the right consistency(that hold itself).
When assembling, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the tortilla. Then put in the filling and roll it like you would to with a normal burrito.
When everything gets ready and people crave for dessert fry them. Is really important to fry them just before eating, because they can get soggy and you want the crispy outside.
Is really simple to put up! And they taste AMAZING. Believe me, I’m not fan of cream cheese at all, but this is a piece of heaven. The orange juice take it to the next level.
This is not traditional Mexican at all. Maybe modern Tex-Mex, but is so delicious I had to share! Hope you like it, hope you make them, you won’t regret it!
