Spiced Chicken Liver Taco’s and Churro’s

I was so glad to finally get the opportunity to make Churro’s, otherwise known as Spanish Doughnuts, they have been on my list of things to try for ages and I never got around to it. While researching my next holiday it seemed fitting to start putting things out there, showing the universe that maybe I must go to Spain soon! They went really well with these Spicy chicken liver taco's.
