Hot To Trot Tarts Preparation

Generously grease 24 muffin cups, using 2 Tbs lard. Then heat 1 cup lard in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and lightly fry tortilla quarters until golden, but still pliable. Quickly drain and place in a ”curl” in each muffin cup. Remove casings from chorizo and cut in 1/2 inch sliced and fry in another skillet until well browned. Drain well and set aside. In a bowl, whisk eggs until blended; whisk in cream, cilantro, ground chile and salt until well blended. Set aside. Preheat oven to 375. Evenly divide chorizo among tortilla-lined cups, top evenly with egg mixture, then with cheese & onion rings. Place 4 chile strips on each tart, with tips together in center & strips radiating out to edges. Set tarts on center rack of oven and bake 15-20 minutes or until egg mixture is firm. Makes 24 tarts.
