These Desert Pepper Chorizo Baskets combine chorizo's rich, smoky flavors with the fresh, zesty notes of Desert Pepper Trading Company Medium Salsa. The crispy filo pastry adds a delightful crunch, while the cotija cheese and cilantro bring everything together with a burst of freshness. It’s a delicious, easy-to-make dish that brings a taste of the Southwest to your table.

Why You’ll Love It
The versatility of Desert Pepper Trading Company Sauces: Desert Pepper Trading Company sauces are not just for dipping or spreading. They can also be used in other ways, such as in my Desert Pepper Chorizo Baskets recipe. I’ve blended the Cantina Medium Salsa in a food processor until it’s nice and smooth, then heated it and served it as a sauce under my chorizo baskets or drizzled over them.
Desert Pepper Chorizo Baskets
Ingredients
- ¼ pound Chorizo
- 1 Jalapeno
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 package Filo pastry
- 4 large Eggs
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup Cotija cheese
- ¼ cup chopped Fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Filo Baskets: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove 2 sheets of filo pastry and layer them on a flat surface. Brush them with melted butter and add about 1 tablespoon of shredded Oaxaca. Pull and push them together to make a nest shape. Add more butter to the edges and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Crack a raw egg into the middle. Bake until golden and crispy, about 10-12 minutes.
- Cook the Chorizo: In a skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Add 1 tablespoon diced jalapeno. Cook 2 minutes longer, adding a little oil if the mixture becomes too dry. Set aside.
- Assemble the Baskets: Fill each filo basket with the chorizo. Top with a generous spoonful of Desert Pepper Trading Company Salsa cooked salsa sauce.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese, chopped green onion and fresh cilantro.
