Chorizo Bites Recipes

CHORIZO PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook, gently breaking it up after a couple minutes. Allow it to bubble, stirring infrequently, until most of the bubbles have stopped and sausage is firm. Remove from heat.
• Place tomatoes into a bowl. Break into smaller pieces with the back of a fork, if desired.
• Divide dough into 16 small pieces, flattening each into a small circle. Place each circle on prepared baking sheet. Divide tomatoes and then the chorizo among the circles. Top with shredded Monterey Jack and crumbled cotija cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until dough is golden brown and cheese has melted, 8 to 15 minutes. Check after 8 minutes to ensure chorizo is not burning.
• Top with minced cilantro leaves.

CHORIZO-TATER TOT BITES

Steps:

• Bake the Tater Tots as the label directs and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, cook the chorizo in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and wipe out the skillet.
• Whisk the eggs with the half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the Tater Tots, cheese and scallions.
• Melt the butter in the skillet and add the egg mixture, spreading it out with a rubber spatula. Scatter the chorizo over the top; transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the eggs are set, about 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, then slide onto a cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces.

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.

RED WINE GLAZED CHORIZO BITES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and saute, stirring a few times, until the chorizo browns on both sides, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic, red wine, honey, and a pinch of smoked paprika and black pepper to the pan. Bring the pan to a boil and continue to boil until the liquid reduces to a glaze thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3-5 minutes. Don't reduce it too much as it will thicken as it cools.
• Serve with toothpicks for easy nibbling.

CORNBREAD CHORIZO BITES

Steps:

• Prepare Schnucks chorizo links according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Open an can of Pillsbury Cornbread Swirls, separate rounds and unroll dough. Wrap one strip of dough around each chorizo link and bake until golden brown, 13-17 minutes.
• Cut into bite-size pieces and serve with salsa verde for dipping.

CHORIZO BITES

Steps:

• Remove the skin from chorizo sausage (if too thick) and slice it into ½ inch (1 cm) slices.
• In a skillet/frying pan, melt the butter. Add the sliced chorizo and cook the sausage on low-medium heat for a minute or two before adding soy sauce, beer and brown sugar. Give it a stir.
• Increase the heat and cook for a few minutes to reduce the beer. Stir from time to time. Stir in the ketchup.
• Serve warm.
