Ingredients

2
cups taco-flavored tortilla chips
1
can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers refrigerated biscuits
16
cubes (1 inch) Mexican prepared cheese product with jalapeño peppers (about half of 16-oz loaf)
Canola oil for deep frying

Directions

  1. Using food processor or resealable plastic bag and rolling pin, crush tortilla chips into fine crumbs. Set aside.
  2. Separate dough into 8 biscuits; cut each in half. Gently stretch each biscuit half around 1 cube of cheese; pinch to seal well.
  3. Coat each stuffed biscuit evenly and completely with crushed chips.

Baked Cinnamon Sugar Churros

These little sticks of goodness are absolutely divine. Whenever I go to an amusement park or county fair, it is a requirement to get a churro. Something about the crunchy warm cinnamon and sugar gets me every time. I had never attempted to make them myself (I am a chicken when it comes to deep-frying things), but came across this recipe for BAKED churros. I seriously made them that very same day and I guarantee you will want to do the same thing! They turn out amazing . . . crunchy cinnamon goodness in 15 minutes flat!

Baked Cinnamon Sugar Churros
Recipe adapted from: Munchkin Munchies

Ingredients:
1 sheet frozen pastry puff sheet, thawed (usually they come in a 2 pack . . . if you want to make both sheets, just double the recipe)
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.  Unfold and cut puff pastry sheets in half lengthwise, and cut each half crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips.  Place strips on a lightly greased parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown (mine only took 8 minutes). Meanwhile, combine sugar and cinnamon.  Remove pastry sheets from oven and dip in butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture.  Let stand on a wire rack 5 minutes or until dry.

Makes 18 churros.
