If you ever wandered down the streets of Tijuana or Ensenada you might have come across the street taco vendor, churos guy and the Duros vendor. Duros are puffy pieces of leavened pasta dough that puff into a wheel shape. They eat like a chip are are great with a creamy dip or salsa. 

This post is a recipe for making your own duros and a creamy hibiscus dip
