Chorizo Wrapped In Bread And Leaves Recipes

CHORIZO WRAPPED IN BREAD AND LEAVES

Steps:

• Divide the bread dough into eight balls and roll each into a circle large enough to enclose the chorizo.
• Place the chorizo in the center and close the dough around it, pinching well to seal. Wrap in the leaf, covering the dough completely, and tie lengthwise and crosswise with string, like a package (this may be prepared ahead and refrigerated).
• Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. To serve, remove the string.

CHORIZO WRAPS WITH VEGGIES (30-MINUTE MEAL)

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan and add chopped chorizos (don't add any oil). Saute for 5-10 minutes, until sausages pieces are done.
• You can chop the veggies while the chorizo is cooking.
• Remove chorizos and set aside, and drain off all but one tablespoon of the oil that has cooked out of the chorizos.
• Reheat the oil and add smoked paprika (if using it) and stir well.
• Add chopped onions and bell peppers and saute for 5 minutes, until softened.
• Add chopped corn kernels and saute for 2 minutes.
• Add lime juice and 1/4 cup of the taco sauce and cook for 2 minutes. You want the lime juice to mostly evaporate.
• Add cooked chorizos and let everything heat through for another 2 minutes.
• While the mixture heats, heat the tortillas according to package directions. I usually zap the whole pack in the microwave for about 1 minute. Be sure to remove the silica gel sachet from the pack before heating.
• Along the way, get the garnishes ready. These are the remaining taco sauce, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, olives (if used) and any other garnishes you like.
• Let everyone assemble their own servings. I usually smear some sour cream on a tortilla, then top with the chorizo mixture and all the garnishes, and fold. Be prepared for some fallout and very messy hands.
