Cheesy Chorizo Crepes image

We could have rolled this cheesy chorizo filling in a tortilla. But we switched things up and put it in crepes. The result? Delicious!

Yield Makes 4 servings, 2 crepes each.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 lb. (8 oz.) Mexican chorizo, cooked, drained and cooled
1 cup KRAFT Mexican Style Finely Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese
1-1/4 cups flour
3 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 can (15 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 jalapeño peppers, seeded, chopped
1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1 cup sour cream
1 Tbsp. butter, divided
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

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.
