Cut tortillas into very thin julienne strips.
Fry tortilla strips in oil until lightly brown.
Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain. Immediately sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mix and set aside. In a medium sauce pan, heat cherries, cherry juice, cinnamon, orange juice and orange zest until just simmering. Mix together cornstarch and water until no lumps appear and gradually stir into cherry mixture. Continue to heat and stir until thickened.
