Ingredients:

• Lane’s Chili Lime rub
• 1.5 – 2lbs fresh pork chorizo
• chihuahua/quesadilla or monterey jack cheese, shredded
• puff pastry or crescent dough sheet
• butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat grill/smoker to 350ºF

2. In a skillet or small pan, brown the chorizo for 7-10 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Drain the excess grease, this is an important step to prevent your final product from being soggy.

3. Roll out the dough on a clean surface. Add a layer of shredded cheese first, then spread out the ground chorizo. Add a layer of Chili Lime rub and roll the dough over itself all the way down, then cut into 2” slices. It should look like a cinnamon roll when done.

4. Place rolls in a cast iron skillet or buttered aluminum pan sides touching on all the rolls. If you have space around them, they will spread out and flatten.

5. Bake/Smoke at 350ºF for 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden brown and crispy. Optionally, brush with melted butter after they are done.

6. Let rolls rest for 5-10 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
