Ingredients
- 1/2 lb bulk chorizo pork sausage
- 1/2 cup chive & onion cream cheese spread (from 8-oz container)
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (2 oz)
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet or 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)

Instructions
-
Step1Heat oven to 375°F. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook chorizo over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until cooked through; drain and cool 5 minutes. In medium bowl, mix chorizo, cream cheese spread and Cheddar cheese.

Step2Unroll dough on work surface. Press into 12x8-inch rectangle. If using crescent roll dough, firmly press perforations to seal. With pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows to make 24 squares.

Step3Divide chorizo mixture evenly on center of each dough square. Bring 4 corners together to overlap slightly in center at top of each bundle. Twist and pinch to seal, leaving small gaps between seams. Place on large ungreased cookie sheet.
