Easy Mini Churro Recipe

Super Easy Mini Churro Recipe. We love Taco Tuesdays! It’s a tradition that we have started since moving into our new home. The kids love it. And each week we try to change it up with different twists – like chicken tacos one week, shrimp tacos the next, homemade guac one week and even different desserts. A couple of weeks ago I thought it would be fun to bring some churros over to Taco Tuesday. Ella loves churros. And since I am usually running around taking kids back and forth to different friends houses, schools and activities, I didn’t have a lot of time to make traditional churros.

I have a thing for Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheets. I just discovered them a few weeks ago and I love that there are so many different dishes you can make with them. It really cuts cooking time down when you use them. So I thought it would be fun to see if I could make churros with one of these crescent dough sheets.

What I discovered is that you can make some pretty good mini churros in a fraction of the time. I made them and brought them over to Taco Tuesday within a half an hour. Instant dessert!
