Chocolate Tortillas

This is something I remember from my childhood: Mom's chocolate tortillas! This is a layered dessert that is sweet, but also bitter and a little tart because of the dark chocolate and the sour cream. It's sooo delicious and you'll be glad you tried it!

6 oz semisweet chocolate
2 c sour cream
3 T confectioners' sugar
4 8-inch flour tortillas
Shaved chocolate

In the top of a double boiler add the chocolate, 1 c of the sour cream and 1 T sugar.

Set the pan over simmering water and stir until the chocolate is melted and the ingredients are thoroughly blended.

Remove from heat and place pan into a bowl of cold water to cool mixture. On a serving plate place 1 tortilla. Frost the top of the tortilla with 1/3 of the chocolate mixture, making sure chocolate mixture is spread very evenly. Place second tortilla on top of chocolate mixture and frost evenly with second 1/3 of chocolate mixture. Repeat layering and frosting procedure once more ending with tortilla on top.

In a small bowl, blend the remaining 1 cup sour cream and remaining 2 T powdered sugar. Frost the top and sides of the tortilla stack with this mixture. Cover the completed tortilla stack with an inverted bowl large enough to cover the stack without touching the top or the sides. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Garnish the top of the stack with shaved chocolate and serve.
