I'm not head over heals in love with cinnamon but even I can't resist the deliciousness of a freshly fried, rolled in cinnamon-sugar, and dipped in chocolate, crispy hot churro. Is your mouth watering? The good news is, these Mexican fried fritters are easy to make at home. Look who just stepped up their Cinco de Mayo party!
