This easy appetizer has something for everyone – a little spicy, a little creamy, and a bit of a crunch!
Chorizo stuffed mushroom caps are one of my go-to apps for parties all year long. The filling can be made a few days ahead of time and the ingredient list is pretty short and simple.
I used Wampler’s Mexican chorizo for these mushrooms, it’s mild in heat but big on flavor. Add a little Tobasco if you’re looking to spice things up a bit!
Can’t find Mexican chorizo? Replace with spicy Italian or breakfast sausage.
