I also couldn’t find the frozen so I broke up the Jacks chorizo sausage from the refrigerated aisle and added a little cumin. Really good!
We love these borekas! I had to cut the recipe in half since it’s only my husband and myself. My butcher didn’t have chorizo so I used 1 sweet chicken sausage and 2 hot sausages. I baked them almost 10 minutes longer to get a golden brown color. I Will definitely make these again!!
These were absolutely delicious! I was making them for vegans so I used Tofurky chorizo grounds and egg replacement for the wash. Yum!
Even with the above hints, Jack’s frozen patties must have a limited distribution. I substituted Boca crumbles and added some red pepper and hot sauce for flavor. The result was ok to good. It was easy to make, and it looked impressive.
I plan on making these for shabbos and taking these to a friends for shabbat dinner. I will review after shabbat. 🙂 shabbat shalom
It’s not fresh it’s frozen, it’s a mistake. Just look in gourmet glatt’s freezer section.
It’s weird yesterday(sunday) I went to gourmet glatt, kollel grocery and pomegranate all brooklyn based very popular stores asked management in all where I’d find jack’s gourmet fresh mexican style chorizo patties they all said they don’t carry it. Can you please tell me where I could buy it.
These were absolutely delicious! So easy to do, definitely recommend trying!
