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.

Provided by Rebekah Rose Hills

Categories     Christmas Appetizers

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 (14 ounce) package cocktail-size smoked link sausages (such as Hillshire Farm Lit'l Smokies ®)
12 sprigs fresh rosemary, or to taste
¼ cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Unroll crescent roll dough on a clean work surface and brush generously with Dijon mustard. Cut each crescent roll triangle into 3 triangular pieces. Place a sausage at the thick end of one of the crescent roll strips and roll up, ending at the narrow end. Repeat until you have used all dough and made 24 pigs in a blanket. Reserve remaining sausages for another use.
  • Arrange pigs in a blanket in a circular shape on a round pizza pan, with rolls gently touching.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden brown and puffed up, 15 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes before carefully transferring the wreath onto a round serving tray. If the sections come apart during the transfer, just recreate the circle shape as best as you can.
  • Arrange rosemary sprigs around the outside of the wreath and place ketchup in a small bowl in the middle.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to score the hot dogs. This will help the cheese and bacon stick to the hot dog.
  • Don't overcook the bacon. It should be cooked until it is crispy but not burnt.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese are both good choices.
  • If you are using a thicker bacon, you may need to cook it for a longer period of time.
  • Serve the pigs in a blanket with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.
