When cooking a large dinner, it’s important to make something that keeps everyone sticking around for more. One of the best things you can do is add an appetizer to build up the momentum for your entrée. Here’s a quick recipe that doesn’t take long and perfectly complements any main course. This chorizo mini-muffin recipe comes to us from the talented cooks over at BeefLovingTexans.com. Of course, we’ve substituted the original beef ingredient with our own Guerra’s Brand chorizo to turn it up a notch.
