Champurrado (Thick and Hot Mexican Beverage)

This Champurrado recipe is easy and delicious. It’s perfect for the chilly Fall and Winter weather!

The Maseca is what thickens the champurrado. You need the one for tortillas not for tamales It is perfect for the colder months. We’ve been drinking it a lot these last couple of days. It always warms us right up. I love hot chocolate drinks and this is probably my favorite because of the unique taste the Maseca gives it.
