Cerdos en una Manta (Pigs in a Blanket)

A Mexican twist on ‘pigs in a blanket,’ this is not your ordinary hot dog wrapped in a crescent roll.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step: 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chorizo with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towel to drain, retaining drippings in the skillet.

Step: 3

Saute red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeno pepper in reserved chorizo drippings until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towel to drain.

Step: 4

Flatten biscuit roll dough into 4 4x6-inch rectangles, pressing seams together where needed. Mix chorizo and vegetable mixture in a bowl; spoon into the center of each rectangle and top with cheese. Roll dough, taking care to seal contents inside the dough. Arrange ‘blankets’ on a baking sheet so the seams are down. Check for holes and seal as found.

Step: 5

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes; transfer to a serving platter and season with hot sauce.
