Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 100g chorizo
• 50g cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp chipotle paste
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 2 eggs, and 1 cup milk until smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate. Tip: For a lighter crepe, strain the batter through a fine-mesh sieve before cooking.
2. Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then add 1 tbsp olive oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is set, then flip and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter to make 8 thin crepes.
3. Step 3: In a separate skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 100g chorizo, diced into 1/2-inch cubes, and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and crispy. Stir in 1 tsp chipotle paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and well combined. Tip: Use a wooden spoon to press the chorizo into the pan for even browning.
4. Step 4: Grate 50g cheddar cheese into a bowl. Place 1-2 crepes on a plate, spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the chorizo mixture onto each crepe, then top with a generous portion of cheddar cheese. Fold the crepes into quarters or roll them tightly, repeating with the remaining crepes.
5. Step 5: Serve the crepes immediately while warm, optionally accompanied by a side of salsa or sour cream. Tip: For a gooey cheese pull, let the cheddar sit for 1-2 minutes after adding it to the crepe before folding.
