Churros are one of the most beloved street foods in Mexico. Vendors often serve them hot from the fryer, coated in cinnamon sugar and accompanied by thick chocolate for dipping. Although churros originated in Spain, they became deeply rooted in Mexican food culture and are enjoyed at fairs, markets, and family celebrations throughout the country.

   Beef stew is an excellent meal to prepare over a fire pit, whether you are camping or spending an evening in your backyard. Cooked slowly in a heavy Dutch oven over gentle heat, the beef becomes tender, the vegetables absorb the savory cooking liquid, and the whole dish develops that wonderful rustic flavor that makes outdoor cooking so enjoyable.
