Description

Enjoy a delightful twist on classic churros with these crispy baked churro chips paired with a luscious chocolate ganache dip. This easy-to-make Mexican-inspired dessert features tortilla chips coated in cinnamon sugar and baked to golden perfection, served alongside a rich, smooth ganache that’s perfect for dipping. Ideal for parties or a sweet snack, this recipe is both satisfying and simple.


Ingredients

For the Chips:

  • 6 small flour tortillas
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Ganache Dip:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Tortillas: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking. Cut each flour tortilla into triangle-shaped wedges like chips.
  2. Coat the Chips: Brush both sides of the tortilla wedges generously with melted butter. In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to make the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  3. Toss and Arrange: Toss the buttered tortilla wedges in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Spread the chips out in a single layer on the lined baking sheet to ensure even baking.
  4. Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip each chip carefully to promote even crispiness and golden coloring. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  5. Cool the Chips: Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet until they firm up and become crispy.
  6. Prepare the Ganache: In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream over medium heat just until it starts to simmer—do not let it boil. Pour the hot cream over the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a heat-safe bowl. Let it sit undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
  7. Mix the Ganache: Stir the chocolate and cream mixture gently until smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
  8. Serve: Serve the warm chocolate ganache dip alongside the cooled churro chips for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, transfer the baked chips to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • You can substitute dark or milk chocolate in the ganache to suit your taste preferences.
  • Handle the chips carefully when flipping to avoid breaking them.
