Chorizo Pizza Bites Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425ºF.
• Cook chorizo in large skillet on medium heat 5 to 7 min. or until done, stirring occasionally; drain. Add red peppers and onions; cook 3 min., stirring occasionally. Stir in mushrooms and jalapeño peppers; cook 4 to 5 min. or until mushrooms are tender.
• Place pizza crust on baking sheet; brush edge with oil. Spread crust with sauce; top with 3/4 cup cheese, chorizo mixture, tomatoes and remaining cheese.
• Bake 12 to 14 min. or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• In large skillet crumble and cook chorizo over medium heat until no pink remains. Drain in colander.
• In small saucepan, heat salsa over medium heat until heated through.
• Lightly coat large baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange tortillas, two at a time, on baking sheet. Top each with equal amounts of cheese. Broil 3-4 inches from heat for 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
• Top each pizza with equal amounts of the warm salsa, cooked chorizo, avocado, green onions, and cilantro.
• Serve with lime wedges and enjoy this south of the border treat! :D.

Steps:

• 1. Place the mayonnaise, peppers, paprika, and lime zest into a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• 2. Cook the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, in batches, until lightly brown, about 1 minute on each side.
• 3. Spread the aioli onto a plate and place the chorizo over top. Garnish with cilantro and serve. Alternatively, smear the aioli onto a platter and set toothpick-speared chorizo slices over top.

Steps:

• Prepare the dough following the instructions in our basic pizza dough recipe in 'goes well with', right.
• Thickly slice the chorizo and pan-fry until crisp. Remove and set aside. Cook one side of the pizzas.
• Crush 2-3 of the tomatoes with your hands and drain in a sieve, then spread on the cooked side of the pizzas. Top with both cheeses, the pepper and chorizo. Season and add chilli flakes if you like it hot. Grill, covered, until the cheese is melted. Finish with the spinach leaves and shavings of manchego.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade.
• Grease an oven proof baking tray.
• Cut the chorizo in to thin rectangular sticks ½ inch wide and 3 inches long.
• On a clean surface scatter some plain flour and roll out the puff pastry until it is an inch thick.
• Then cut the pastry in to long thin strips about a half an inch wide and 9 inches long.
• The next bit is a bit fiddly using one pastry strip wrap it around the chorizo a bit like a twister until the chorizo is fully covered with the pastry, if the pastry is bit short it doesn't matter too much.
• Refrigerate the chorizo and puff pastry bites for roughly 10-20 minutes.
• Once they have been refrigerated place the bites on to the baking tray making sure they are not over crowded.
• Then use a pastry brush and paste the bites with egg wash.
• Cook the pastry bites in the oven for abut 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked.
• Transfer them to wire rack until completely cooled.
