Ingredients

• 24 pieces mini cocktail sausages
• 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeño slices, chopped
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 piece egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangular sections along the perforations.

Step 3

Cut each triangular section of dough into 3 smaller triangles, creating a total of 24 small triangles.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the shredded Mexican blend cheese, chopped pickled jalapeño slices, chili powder, and ground cumin.

Step 5

Place about 1 teaspoon of the cheese and jalapeño mixture at the wide end of each dough triangle.

Step 6

Place one mini cocktail sausage on top of the cheese mixture, then roll the dough around the sausage, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the narrow tip. Pinch the ends slightly to seal.

Step 7

Arrange the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.

Step 8

Brush each wrapped sausage lightly with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.

Step 9

Sprinkle a few black sesame seeds on top of each, if desired, for added texture and visual appeal.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm with your favorite dipping options like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side.
