Unwrap the gloria candies and cut them into little bits.
  • butter
Preheat the griddle to medium; spread a little butter over it.
Buttering the griddle and building
  • 1 oz gloria candies
  • 3 whole flour tortillas
  • 1 oz shredded cheese
Lay down three five-inch flour tortillas; spread about an ounce of cheese on each, then an equal amount of chopped gloria candy over the top.
After a couple of minutes, peek underneath for browning; once the cheese is melted, fold each over into a half-moon.
Melting, folding and browning
Cook a couple of minutes longer, turning a couple of times, for the caramel to soften and mix with the cheese; do not let them get crispy and crack.
  • sugar
Remove, cut in half into triangles, and sprinkle with a little sugar, which sticks to the buttery exterior.
