Wurstel Mexican Style

The “Wurstel Mexican Style” is not a traditional dish in Italy, but in this case I suppose you’re seeking a recipe that combines sausages with some elements reminiscent of Mexican cuisine. Based on this assumption, I could suggest a recipe for sausages wrapped in tortillas with salsa and Mexican toppings. Here is a recipe you could try at home:

Ingredients

• 4 sausages (preferably of good quality)
• 4 corn or flour tortillas
• 1 cup of grated cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/2 cup of Mexican salsa (such as spicy tomato salsa)
• 1/2 finely sliced red onion
• Cooked Mexican beans (optional)
• Sliced jalapeños (to taste)
• Sliced avocado (optional)
• Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
2. If the sausages are not pre-cooked, boil them in water for 5 minutes, then drain and dry them.
3. Warm the tortillas in the oven or on a pan to make them soft and workable.
4. On each tortilla, spread a portion of grated cheese, then place a sausage in the center.
5. Add some Mexican salsa on top of each sausage, as well as sliced red onion, jalapeños, and if you wish, some cooked beans.
6. Wrap the tortilla around the stuffed sausage, folding the ends under. Make sure that the cheese stays inside.
7. Place the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet with the seam side down.
8. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the sausages are hot throughout and the cheese has melted.
9. Serve with slices of avocado and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

You can serve these “Wurstel Mexican Style” with sides like Mexican rice, corn salad, or chips and guacamole for a complete meal that nods to the flavors of Mexican cuisine with an Italian touch in the use of sausages as the main ingredient.
