Spicy chorizo, sweet membrillo, and nutty manchego bring Spanish flair to everyone's favorite finger food.

Cooks' Note:

If you are able to find all-butter puff pastry, such as Dufour (our preferred brand), roll the pastry sheet to a 12x18-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Cut lengthwise into eight 1 1/2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 4 pieces, about 4 1/2 inches long each (you should have 32 pieces of pastry), and proceed with the recipe.

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
