This viral recipe was inspired by @Magictreatsbyivanna (we have unhooked her page because her account was deleted). You can check out her excellent account and more of her amazing videos on her page. She had a Disney take, and we changed it to just hearts and stars because we didn’t have a Disney cookie cutter. SO cute, SO fun.

Ingredients:

• Granulated white sugar + ground cinnamon = The best and easy flavoring! Nothing is better or sweet than a tortilla with a coat of cinnamon sugar.
• Flour tortillas – Flour tortillas can be cut into tortilla wedges or, with a simple cookie cutter, cut into fun shapes like hearts, stars, or Mickey Mouse (as shown on TikTok).
• Cookie cutters – As noted above and shown in this article, hearts and stars are easy, and you get quite a few chips out of them. But seasonally, it’s fun to use Christmas street or candy cane cutters. In the original TikTok Churro Nachos video, Disney cookie cutters were used, which are super cute.
• Cooking Oil: Vegetable oil is one of the better oils used to fry due to smoke points and flavors that are not too strong. While some oil substitutes are acceptable, do not use Olive Oil as it will alter the sweet taste of the cinnamon and sugar.
• Nutella for serving – Nutella is a favorite of mine for dipping, but any sweet dipping sauce like caramel sauce or hot fudge sauce is just as good with dessert nachos. Dump it on or dip it in.

FAQ’s

How many Churro Nachos can you make per tortilla?

I used fajita-sized flour tortillas and got seven hearts and four stars out of each one. The number will vary depending on the size of the flour tortilla you get and the shape and size of the cookie cutter.

Other than Cinnamon Sugar, what are ways to flavor churro chips?

Churro nachos are sweet so no cheese sauce here! If looking to mix up outside a single layer of cinnamon mixture, try spreading on a baking sheet and dusting with powdered sugar.

Another fun idea is to layer on a plate while still hot and sprinkle on chocolate chips. The heat should help melt the bits of chocolate right onto the chips making them such a treat this holiday season.
