Try this Easy Baked Churro Chips recipe, possibly the easiest and yummiest churro chips you can ever make!
Last Winter, I decided to incorporate a couple of new recipes into our holiday menu repertoire. Among the new recipes was a delicious Mexican buñuelos dessert. If you are not familiar with Mexican Buñuelos, they are a delicious crispy tortilla fritters or elephant ears topped with the deliciousness of the classic churro mixture taste. Although these buñuelos are heavenly delicious, the recipe is a bit on the involved side. As you may know, I am the kind of mom that loves to find recipe shortcuts to get me from point A to point B while conserving the flavor integrity of the original recipe. Therefore, I started to experiment to find a new way to enjoy these delicious buñelos a faster way and for them to still be delicious! So, if you are looking for a delicious and easy snack or dessert for the Holiday season or just because, I invite you to give this easy baked churro chips recipe a go.
