A churro is a fried-dough pastry-based snack which originated in Spain, and is popular in Latin America, France, the USA, and Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands. It is sometimes referred to as a Spanish doughnut or Mexican doughnut. Porras are similar but with a round thicker cross section, so named due to the fact that they usually resemble the form of a club.
An ancient Iberian breed of sheep, the Churra (renamed Churro by American frontiersmen) was first imported to North America in the 16th century and used to feed Spanish armies and settlers. By the 17th century Churros were popular with the Spanish settlers in the upper Rio Grande Valley. Flocks of Churros were also acquired by Navajo through raids and trading, and soon became an important part of their economy and culture.
