Churro Chips (with Cinnamon Sugar): How It’s Done
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the granulated white sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix them together until they are well blended. This will be your delicious coating for the churro chips.
  2. Take your flour tortillas and stack them on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the tortillas into wedges. You can cut them into triangles or strips, depending on your preference. Aim for about 8 pieces per tortilla.
  3. In a deep skillet or frying pan, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom by about an inch. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping in a small piece of tortilla; if it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.
  4. Carefully add a few tortilla wedges to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chips for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. While the chips are still warm, immediately toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Make sure each chip is evenly coated for that signature churro flavor.
  6. Once all the chips are fried and coated, serve them warm with a generous side of Nutella for dipping. Enjoy your homemade Churro Chips (with Cinnamon Sugar) with friends and family!

Notes

  • For a healthier twist, use whole wheat tortillas instead of regular flour tortillas.
  • Substitute granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a lower-calorie option.
  • Store leftover churro chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
