Mexico: One Plate at a Time with Rick Bayless
Chocolate & Churros, Breakfast of Champions
Season 12
Episode 3
In Mexico, golden crispy churros are served with a cup of nourishing, frothy hot chocolate, and there's perhaps no better snack in the whole republic. In this episode, Rick visits El Moro, a Mexico City institution, and then orders fistful of churros rellenos, that's right, stuffed churros, in picturesque Coyocan.
