Ingredients:
For the Churro Bites:
- 6 Rodriguez Bakery tortillas (corn or flour)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the Dipping Sauce (Optional):
- ½ cup chocolate chips (or caramel sauce)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions:
Prepare the Chips:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stack the Rodriguez Bakery tortillas and cut them into four wedges per tortilla (about 24 pieces total).
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
- Brush each tortilla wedge with the melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Arrange the pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Prepare the Dipping Sauce (Optional):
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together, stirring until smooth and glossy. If using caramel, simply warm the sauce in a microwave-safe bowl.
Serve:
