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.

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.

Steps:
- Put the flour, paprika and fennel seeds in a food processor and blitz with the butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the manchego and chopped chorizo and blitz again until a dough forms. Roll into a 4cm log and wrap in baking parchment. Chill in the freezer for 30-40 mins until firm.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Unwrap the dough and slice into 5mm-thick biscuits. Lay on a lined baking sheet well spaced apart (they will spread in the oven). Bake for 15-20 mins until golden. Leave to cool. Will keep in an airtight container for three days.

PIGS IN A BLANKET
Kids love this one. My mom made it for me as did her mom. If making for a small child, cut the hot dogs into fourths length wise. The cheese is always optional.

Tips:
- To make the perfect pigs in a blanket, use a high-quality puff pastry and fully defrost it before using.
- 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.
- Bake the pigs in a blanket until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the pigs in a blanket immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
