Yield Makes 32 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large egg
One 14- to 17-ounce box puff pastry (preferably all-butter puff, see Cook's Note), thawed according to package directions
2 pounds fully cooked chorizo-style sausage (not dried Spanish-style chorizo), halved lengthwise if thick, cut into 32 pieces (about 2 1/2 inches each)
1/3 cup membrillo (quince paste)
1/3 cup grated manchego cheese, plus more for sprinkling
Pimentón (smoked Spanish paprika), for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two 13x18-inch baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Prep the ingredients for the filling and set aside.
  • If using a 17-ounce package of puff pastry, roll each sheet to a 9x12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Cut each piece lengthwise into eight 1 1/2-inch wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into two pieces, about 4 1/2 inches long. You should have 32 pieces of pastry.
  • Spread the center of each piece of pastry with 1/2 teaspoon membrillo and top with 1/2 teaspoon manchego. Brush one narrow end of the pastry with egg wash, add a piece of sausage, and roll to enclose. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, seam-side down. Brush the top of each pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with additional manchego and pimentón. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Bake pastries until golden brown and puffed, 23 to 27 minutes.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 links fresh Mexican chorizo (about 1 pound)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup picked fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup sour cream
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 6-inch flour tortillas
1/2 cup canned refried beans
3/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
Prepared pico de gallo, strained, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Toss the chorizo with 1 tablespoon of the oil on the prepared baking sheet, and bake, turning the chorizo halfway through, until fully cooked, 25 to 30 minutes. When cool enough to handle, carefully peel off the casing without breaking up the sausage.
  • Meanwhile, cut open the avocado, scoop out the flesh and add it to a food processor. Add the cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, and puree until very smooth. Transfer the avocado crema to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Place a tortilla on a work surface, and spread with 2 tablespoons of the refried beans, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle 1/4 of the Cheddar evenly on top, leaving the 1/2-inch border. Place a cooked chorizo link on the bottom edge of the tortilla, and roll up tightly. Skewer the outside edge with a toothpick to keep it closed. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, beans, Cheddar and chorizo.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the 4 tortilla rolls in the skillet. If they start browning too quickly, turn the heat down to medium-low. As one side becomes golden brown, turn the rolls a quarter turn. Repeat until the rolls are crisp and golden brown all over, about 5 minutes total.
  • Transfer the rolls to a cutting board, and let cool for 30 seconds. Cut each into 6 even pieces with a serrated knife. Arrange the pieces, cut-side down, on a platter. Top each with a dollop of avocado crema and some pico de gallo.

Tips:

  • Cut the puff pastry into even strips. This will help ensure that the pigs in a blanket cook evenly.
  • Don't overfill the puff pastry with the chorizo, membrillo, and manchego. Too much filling will make the pigs in a blanket difficult to roll and seal.

  • Serve the pigs in a blanket immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
