Cheesy Chorizo Crepes Recipes

CHEESY CHORIZO CREPES

Steps:

• Mix chorizo and cheese; set aside.
• Mix flour, eggs, milk, 2/3 cup water, cumin and salt with wire whisk until well blended. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil in medium skillet until tender. Add tomatoes, peppers and thyme; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sour cream; mix well. Keep warm.
• Melt 1 tsp. of butter in medium heavy skillet on medium-high heat. Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter into skillet; tilt skillet to evenly coat bottom with batter. Cook 1 minute; turn crepe over with spatula. Cook an additional 1 minute. Place crepe on plate; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter to make 8 crepes, adding remaining butter as necessary to prevent sticking.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour half of the onion mixture into 13x9-inch baking pan. Place crepes on cutting board. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chorizo mixture onto bottom section of each crepe; roll up. Place, seam sides down, in prepared pan. Cover with remaining onion mixture; sprinkle with cilantro.
• Bake 10 minutes.

SAVORY CHORIZO CREPES

Steps:

• Place the ingredients for the crepes in the order listed in a blender container and pulse for 15 seconds. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender, then pulse a few more times. Pour the batter in a sealable container and place in the fridge for an hour (this helps create a more tender crepe). Alternatively, if needed right away, the batter can be used after a five-minute rest.
• Set an 11-inch crepe pan over medium heat and lightly brush with a bit of melted butter.
• Shake or mix the batter, then pour a ⅓ cup of it into the center of the crepe pan, then quickly tilt the pan as needed to coat the bottom with the batter. Cook the crepe until the edges begin to turn slightly brown and loosen from the edge of the pan-this should take about 1 minute.
• Using a spatula or an offset spatula, gently flip the crepe over. Cook the second side for an additional 30-45 seconds, then carefully transfer to a towel-lined plate. Repeat this process until all crepes are made. Cover with a paper towel to keep warm.
• For the chorizo scramble: Add the oil to a skillet set over medium heat. Once warm, add the onions and a pinch of salt and cook until translucent. Add the chorizo and cook for about 10 minutes, or until fully cooked, breaking it up a bit during the cooking time.
• Once the chorizo is cooked, pour the beaten eggs over the chorizo and scramble until fully cooked. Taste the eggs and add any salt if needed.
• To assemble: Place a crepe on a plate and top with ¼ of the chorizo scramble. Carefully fold the crepe by pulling the 4 edges towards the center at an equal distance to form a square. Garnish with sour cream, diced jalapeno, cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco. Repeat this process until all crepes are assembled and enjoy warm.

CHEESY CHORIZO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Cook chorizo in large ovenproof skillet on medium-high heat until done, stirring frequently. Remove chorizo from skillet, reserving drippings in skillet. Set chorizo aside. Add spinach to skillet; cook 2 min. or just until wilted, stirring frequently. Stir in tomatoes and onions. Remove from heat.
• Whisk eggs and milk in medium bowl until blended; stir in 1 cup cheese. Add to ingredients in skillet; stir just until blended. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake 25 min. or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

CHEESY CHORIZO BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Combine the mango, pineapple, cilantro, onions, jalapeños, lime juice and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add the kale, spinach and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the greens wilt completely, and any excess moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir in the eggs and let sit until the bottom starts to set, about 1 minute. Drag the eggs from side to side with a spatula, letting them set on the bottom each time so that big curds form, 2 to 3 minutes. Once the eggs are no longer runny, turn off the heat.
• Spread 1/2 cup mozzarella in the center of each tortilla. Microwave one at a time until the tortilla is warm and the cheese melts, 30 seconds. Divide the egg mixture between the tortillas and top each with 2 tablespoons of the fruit salsa. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll them up to form compact burritos. Serve with the remaining fruit salsa on the side.
