Ingredients:

Crispy Chorizo Pinwheel Kebabs

  • 1 lb Polidori Chorizo Sausage
  • 1/2 medium white onion diced
  • 1/2 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 tbs cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 lb shredded Mexican cheese
  • 2 burrito flour tortillas

Avocado Crema

  • 1 avocado ripe
  • 2 tbs sour cream
  • 2 tbs lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbs cilantro
Directions:

Prep and Assembly

  • Preheat the oven to 425 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a shallow pan, soak skewers in water for 10 minutes while prepping.
  • Mix 1 lb of Polidori Ground Chorizo, diced onion, diced red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
  • Lay out 2 flour burrito tortillas. Spread a thin, even layer of the chorizo mixture across each tortilla. Top with shredded Mexican cheese.
  • Roll tightly into logs, then slice each into 1.5-2" pieces. You can cut off the ends for even logs – but save them in a separate bowl!
  • Thread pieces onto 3-4 skewers, 4 to 5 pieces per skewer.
  • Rather than discarding the ends, you can bake them in the oven in a separate tray alongside the kebabs for chorizo nachos!

Baking

  • Arrange skewers on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the bottoms are crispy – about 15 minutes.
  • Flip and finish baking for another 15 minutes. Internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  • Broil on HIGH for 2 minutes until kebabs are browned and crispy.

Avocado Crema

  • In a blender add 1 ripe avocado, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, 2 tablespoons of lime, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of cilantro. Blend on high until smooth, creamy, and thick.

Ingredients:
  • 1 lbs Polidori Sausage Bratwurst Links or Beer Bratwurst
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten (egg wash)
  • Ed McCaffrey’s Rocky Mountain Mustard, for serving
Directions:
  • Preheat oven: Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Cook the brats: Grill or pan-sear until cooked through and perfectly browned, about 10–12 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut into halves or thirds.
    Prepare the puff pastry: Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 2-inch strips.
    Wrap the brats: Place a brat piece on one end of a strip and roll it up snugly. Seal the edge with egg wash.
    Brush and bake: Arrange the seam-side down on the baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
    Slice and serve: Once slightly cooled, cut into bite-sized pieces and serve warm, accompanied by plenty of Rocky Mountain Mustard for dipping.
