“In New Mexico, we love to make these yummy fried pies for dessert. Because they call for flour tortillas and convenient canned pie filling, they’re a snap to put together when time is short.” —Terry Dominguez, Silver City, New Mexico

We have been making a similar recipe for years using wontons and mixing the cherry pie filling with cream cheese before spooning the filling in.... YUMMY!

The first time I made these I followed the recipe. The next time I made them I added a little almond extract to the cherry pie filling before I filled the tortillas. Wow, what a difference! 5 stars!!!
