The Barcel Churritos corn snacks are a delicious option for those that are looking for a different kind of crunchy indulgent that isn't potato-based.

Inspired by the classic Mexican snack with a flavor profile that's tangy and spicy, Barcel Churritos feature a red chili pepper and lime flavor that's complimented well by the corn-based sticks.

Naturally gluten-free, Barcel Churritos come in individual snack bags and feature authentic Mexican flavor profiles including citrus and chili pepper. This makes the corn snacks a scrumptious option for those who are looking for bold flavor in a crunchy format.

Barcel Churritos originate in Mexico, but can be purchased online through select retailers to be enjoyed in other parts of North America and the world.
