Have you Tried them?
Buñuelos (crispy fried dough fritters) are a traditional Mexican dessert topped with cinnamon and sugar. Have you had them? They are a personal favorite and something we’ve enjoyed most of our lives. These bunuelos are primarily served throughout Christmas and New Year’s, but you can enjoy it anytime! They are flattened and fried to golden perfection – similar to fry bread; however, that hint of cinnamon adds a warm, spiced flavor. Buñuelos are often served with a dipping sauce, such as honey, chocolate, or cajeta, but even just a simple coating adds plenty of sweetness! If you love these, you’ll also love our Cinnamon Tortilla Chips.
