Crispy Mexican Pastries

This 'Averie Cooks' Salsa-Stuffed Creation is Mouthwatering

— October 9, 2012 — Lifestyle
There will be no shortage of spanish-inspired flavors in this 'Averie Cooks' salsa-stuffed creation. Get ready to construct appetizers and hors d' oeuvre that will make your guests' mouths water by incorporating traditional Mexican ingredients into a bite-sized snack. Constructed using puff pastry sheets, ripe and creamy avocados, cream cheese and salsa, these pastries will be worthy of a fiesta -- and quite later, a siesta. Spread these ingredients on a square of puff pastry, seal with extra pastry sheeting and bake for 15 minutes.

While this Averie Cooks salsa-stuffed creation can be made using cream cheese, there is also a vegan option that substitutes Tofutti or vegan cream cheese in its place. Enjoy the savory flavors of South American cuisine and spices in an adorable puff pastry form that is also health-conscious. Set these salsa-filled puffs on any table with some sour cream and guacamole and they are guarantee to be gobbled up in a matter of minutes.
