A BLANK CANVAS FOR FLAVOR
Duros, the Snack Built for Customizing
Duros are light, crunchy wheat snacks that puff up when fried, prized as a base for classic Mexican street snacks topped with chile powder, lime, and salsa. Neutral on their own, they’re a versatile canvas that takes on whatever flavor you add. At Latin Specialties, we source duros for consistent texture and quality, case after case.
Crunchy, versatile, and always ready for flavor—duros are a snack-time favorite.

Street snack recipe
Duros Preparados (Street-Style Duros)
Freshly fried duros shaken with hot sauce, lime juice and chile powder: the crunchy, tangy snack sold at schools, fairs and street corners all over Mexico.
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw duros (wheat wheels or pellets)
- Neutral oil for frying
- Mexican-style hot sauce, to taste
- Juice of 2 Latin Specialties Limes
- Chile powder and a pinch of salt
Method
- Heat about 3 inches of oil to 365°F (185°C). Fry the duros in small batches, stirring, for a few seconds, until they puff up and turn light and crisp.
- Drain on paper towels and let them cool for a minute.
- Put them in a bowl or a paper bag, add the hot sauce, lime juice, chile powder and salt, and shake until coated. Serve right away.
TipAdd the lime and sauce at the last minute: duros soften quickly once they are wet.
