Best Cheesy Chorizo Crepes Recipes

CHORIZO-LEEK CREPES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine flour, milk, water, eggs, olive oil or melted butter, and salt. Puree or blend until smooth. Pour batter into a pitcher or container with a pouring lip (or leave in blender jar). Cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, (optional).
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and saute 5 minutes, until tender. Add chorizo and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until heated through. Remove mixture from pan and set aside. Cover with foil to keep warm.
• Return skillet to medium heat.
• For each crepe, add 2 tablespoons batter to pan. Lift the pan off the heat and tilt and rotate it so that the batter forms an even, very thin layer. Cook until the top is set and the bottom is golden (about 30 seconds to 1 minute). Using your fingers, flip crepe and cook 30 seconds, until second side is lightly browned. Transfer crepe to layers of waxed paper and repeat with remaining batter.
• Roll crepes with chorizo-leek filling. Garnish with sour cream and chives.

CHEESY CHORIZO CRESCENT BITES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook chorizo over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until cooked through; drain and cool 5 minutes. In medium bowl, mix chorizo, cream cheese spread and Cheddar cheese.
• Unroll dough on work surface. Press into 12x8-inch rectangle. If using crescent roll dough, firmly press perforations to seal. With pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows to make 24 squares.
• Divide chorizo mixture evenly on center of each dough square. Bring 4 corners together to overlap slightly in center at top of each bundle. Twist and pinch to seal, leaving small gaps between seams. Place on large ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 11 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with remaining ingredients.

BAKED CHEESE WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Oil a 3 or 4 cup ovenproof baking dish.
• In a dry medium skillet, saute the chorizo over medium-high heat until almost crisp. Remove the chorizo to a plate. Add the onion and garlic to the pan juices and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Return the chorizo to the skillet with the onions and garlic and stir to combine.
• Put 1/2 of cheese in the baking dish and sprinkle with 1/2 of the chorizo mixture. Repeat with the remaining cheese and chorizo mixture. Bake until the cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Serve with flour tortillas for soft tacos.
