Yields1 Serving
 1 tbsp olive oil
 1 tbsp unsalted butter
 2 cups thinly sliced yellow onion
 1 lb Mexican chorizo, casing removed
 1 large Russet potato, peeled, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces (about 11/2 cups)
 2 cups (about 8 oz.) shredded Havarti or Monterey jack cheese
 1 1/2 (17.3-oz) pkgs. Puff pastry (3 sheets), thawed
 2 large eggs, beaten
 1 (12-oz) bag fresh or frozen cranberries
 3 tbsp honey
 1 tbsp lemon juice
 1 tsp ground cumin
 1 tsp chili powder
 ½ cup apple juice
 ¼ cup brown sugar
 1 tbsp minced chipotle en adobo
 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium; add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

2

Add chorizo to skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring to crumble, until natural oils release from chorizo, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in caramelized onions. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Fold in shredded cheese.

3

Unfold thawed puff pastry and cut along the folds (should be in 3 equal pieces). Align the short ends of the pastry and brush short edges with egg wash; press to adhere. Repeat with remaining sheets.

4

Spoon filling 1/3 of filling onto each long sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Brush border with egg wash and fold together over filling, crimping to adhere with your fingers. Repeat with remaining filling and sheets.

5

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Coil the pastry logs into an intestine-like formation, seam-side down, curling in and around itself. Brush top with egg wash.

6

Bake at 350°F until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. Let sit about 10 minutes before serving.

7

Meanwhile, combine cranberries, honey, lemon juice, cumin and chili in a medium saucepan; cook over medium-high until cranberries burst, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a blender with apple juice, brown sugar, chipotle, and salt; blend until smooth. Serve with puff pastry.
