Ingredients
    12 ounces chorizo sausage or 12 ounces spicy sausage
    1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
    1 small green bell pepper (1/2 cup)
    1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic
    1/2 cup chopped seeded tomatoes
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
    1 (17 1/4 ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
Preparation
    Heat oven to 400 degrees.
    Cook sausage, onion, green pepper and garlic in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until sausage is browned and onion is crisply tender (5 to 6 minutes).
    Drain well.
    Stir in tomato and oregano.
    Set aside.
    Roll 1 sheet puff pastry to 12-inch square.
    Cut into 16 (3-inch) squares.
    Place 1 rounded tablespoon filling in center of each square.
    Fold opposite corners of squares together to form triangles.
    Pinch edges of pastry together; crimp with fork to seal.
    Place triangles onto lightly greased baking sheets.
    Repeat with remaining pastry sheet and filling.
    Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
