Our Despana basket included several packages of chorizo. You've seen the little ones. Tonight, we had the fat ones, the size of bratwurst. I think all the different shapes and sizes probably taste the same, just made for different uses, all yummy.
I used these fatties in a rice and beans dish, used as a side to my fun taco-themed evening with my cousins.
I thought it would be really fun to have make-your-own bite sized tacos. I used Tostitos Scoops, chopped some chillies, chopped Monterey and Colby Jack cheeses, made pico de gallo and taco meat.

Sounds yummy! I had a really tasty chorizo/fig relish in balsamic reduction over polenta at this tapas place in Brooklyn- I bet you could invent some kind of yummy chorizo sauce like that . . . |

I love the idea of using Scoops for mini-tacos - I think I'll steal it, if you don't mind. :) That spread looks delicious! |
