Churros and Hot Chocolate
Churros:
8 cups vegetable or olive oil
1 cup water
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional

Hot Chocolate:
4 ounces dark chocolate
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 tablespoons sugar

Churros: 8 cups vegetable or olive oil 1 cup water 1/2 cup margarine or butter 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 3 eggs 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional

Hot Chocolate: 4 ounces dark chocolate 2 cups milk 1 tablespoon cornstarch 4 tablespoons sugar

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan to 360 degrees F!.

To make the churro dough, heat the water, margarine, and salt to a rolling boil in a 3-quart saucepan!. Add the flour and stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball, approximately 1 minute and remove from heat!. Beat eggs until smooth and add to the saucepan while stirring the mixture!.

Spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a star tip!. Squeeze 4-inch strips of dough into the hot oil!. Fry 3 or 4 strips at a time until golden brown, turning once, about 2 minutes on each side!. Drain on paper towels!. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and roll the churros in the sugar mixture!. Set aside until ready to serve!.

To prepare the hot chocolate for dipping, place the chocolate and half the milk in a saucepan over very low heat and cook, stirring, until the chocolate has melted!. Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining milk and whisk into the chocolate with the sugar!. Cook on low heat, whisking constantly until the chocolate thickens, approximately 5 minutes!. Remove and whisk until smooth!. Pour chocolate into cups and serve with churros!.

Churros are not tortillas!. Churros are a finger-sized piece of dough that is deep fried and sometimes sprinkled with sugar!. Tortillas as they are eaten in Central and Sout hAmerica are not seen in Spain!. A Tortilla in Spain is like an omelette!. Just to clear up the confusion/inaccuracy above!.
So I'm not sure what your friend served you but they're not tortillas from Spain!.
Edited to add, bunuelos are not flat either, they are puffs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i would have to disagree with the churro !.!.!. it's a little rounder than a tortilla and made of completly different ingredients

i think you may be thinking of a sopaipilla, also spelled sopapilla or sopaipa!. it's a fried tortilla topped with cinnamon sugar !.!.!. i like to drizzle a light coat of syrup over mine *yummy*

there are many ways to make a sopaipilla !.!.!. frying tortillas is the fastest as well as the easiest way of doing so!.

check out the links i provided !.!.!. it has pics of each the sopaipilla and a churro
