I love churros! These crispy Mexican fritters with sweet cinnamon sugar are very common at fairs. In my border hometown, people wait hours in line to get warm churros with chocolate dipping sauce. I have tried several recipes to make them at home and this is by far the best.

Air Fryer New York Strip Steak
These New York strip steaks were quite good, done in the air fryer, in about 10 minutes of active cooking time. Everybody has their special touches when it comes to steak, so I'll invite you to use the seasonings you prefer. The method is what is important, and it truly is quite simple. It was wonderful to have steak without standing at the grill in the heat, or firing up the broiler inside!
