Once the chocolate-spicy-cream mixture has set, take a small spoon and scoop out as many ganache balls as you can. Take each scoop between your hands and roll them into smooth balls. In a small bow, mix cocoa powder and Ancho chili powder together. Roll the ganache balls in the mixture, and place on a platter to serve. Chocolate, Strawberry, and Banana Burritos Ingredients

In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter together on medium speed till it turns creamy. Add the bananas, egg, and vanilla in the bowl. Keep beating and scraping the bowl from the side often. Once the ingredients are mixed completely, reduce the speed to low and add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and oil in the bowl. Mix everything properly.

Place the baking dish in the oven, and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes till the burritos turn golden brown. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top, and serve hot. Churros Ingredients
