Churro Chips
These delicious Mexican Churro Chips are the absolute BEST. Perfectly crunchy and baked to cinnamon sugar perfection.
Equipment
- 1 pastry brush
Ingredients
- 4 tortillas raw. We HIGHLY recommend raw (Tortillaland is our favorite) for the perfect texture and flavor, but precooked will work in a pinch.
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Pour about half of it out on a large plate.
- Using a pizza cutter, slice the tortillas into 8 pieces each.
- Melt the butter then use a pastry brush to liberally coat both sides of each piece of tortilla. Place on the cinnamon sugar plate, then sprinkle more cinnamon and sugar on top. Use the spoon to gently press the tortilla pieces into the sugar so it sticks to the back. See photos above for a great visual on this.
- Place buttered and sugared tortillas on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes until they just start to turn golden.
- The churro chips will be tender while they're hot, but will crisp up as they cool. Allow to set at least 5 minutes before eating.
Notes
- Serve with ice cream and top with your favorite toppings. Or dip in Nutella, chocolate sauce, berry sauce, dulce de leche, caramel, passionfruit curd, marshmallow sauce or anything else you can think of!
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you live in a humid area, these do not store as well.
- Remember that these are still tender when they come out of the oven, then crisp up as they cool. Don't wait for them to get crispy in the oven or they will be overcooked and way too hard.
- To Air Fry: Air fry at 360 in a single layer for 5 minutes, then flip and air fry another 2-5 minutes until they start to turn golden.
- See above for more variations and deep fry method!
- To serve as a sopapilla, don't forget to top with honey!
