Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Tex-Mex
Serves: 12 pistollettes
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 can Rotel tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 lb cooked sausage (optional)
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- If using sausage, cook it thoroughly in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
- Drain Rotel tomatoes in a colander, gently pressing out excess liquid to prevent soggy biscuits.
- In a mixing bowl, combine drained Rotel tomatoes, shredded cheese, cooked sausage (if using), and taco seasoning. Mix well to create a uniform filling.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit can and separate each biscuit. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin to create a wider, thinner circle.
- Place a spoonful of the Rotel tomato mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit over the filling, pinching and sealing the edges to create a closed pocket. Ensure no filling is exposed.
- Arrange the stuffed biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. The filling will be very hot.
- Serve warm and enjoy as a quick appetizer or snack. Optional: Serve with additional salsa or sour cream for dipping.
Tips
- Drain Rotel tomatoes thoroughly to prevent soggy biscuits - use a colander and gently press out excess liquid.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different types of cheese or add jalapeños to the filling.
- If using sausage, ensure it's fully cooked and cooled slightly before mixing with other ingredients.
- When sealing biscuits, pinch edges firmly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Use parchment paper or lightly grease your baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Let pistollettes cool for a few minutes after baking to avoid burning your mouth on the hot filling.
- Serve with sour cream, salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra flavor boost.
