These Vegetarian Chorizo Spinach Cheese Puffs are the perfect last-minute holiday recipe that is quick & easy to create & full of flavor!
Foodie confession time.
I’m always looking for quick & easy recipes that will make holiday parties more simple so that I can relax & enjoy the company of my friends & family.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in the kitchen trying to put the final touches on a recipe rather than making memories with the ones I love.
Although truth be told, being in the kitchen has saved my family from hearing yet another corny joke in which I completely mess up the punch line…
Even still I’m determined to find quicker recipes for holiday parties that leave me with more time for what really matters, family!
The problem is that I also want to create dishes that are full of flavor that my guests will actually love, but sometimes finding a quick flavorful recipe can be hard.
Luckily these Vegetarian Chorizo Spinach Cheese Puffs solve both problems!
To make them extra tasty I added MorningStar Farms® Chorizo Crumbles which is a new product that’s vegan!
Since MorningStar Farms® also knows that sometimes “Less is More;” their new products have No Artificial Colors or Flavors, which you can learn more about here.
And WOW, these Chorizo Crumbles have a nice flavor with a spicy kick!
This vegetarian cheese puff recipe is easy to make & filled with flavor.
And because it’s so simple to make they are perfect for any occasion, big or small!
MorningStar Farms® products are not only for vegetarians, but they are also for everyone!
And all of your hungry eaters will enjoy these Vegetarian Chorizo Spinach Cheese Puffs with their flaky crusts & chewy centers.
The MorningStar Farms® Chorizo Crumbles (13.5oz Value Pack) can be found in the frozen foods section at Walmart, but I placed my order online & used the Walmart Online Grocery Pickup service to pick up what I needed for these Vegetarian Chorizo Spinach Cheese Puffs.
My mom & I enjoyed these for lunch last week & I can’t wait to make them again for Roger & maybe even some holiday dinner guests!
