Tapas has got to be one of my favorite foods.I first got a taste of it in London when my husband and I went to a Tapas bar and I was hooked!I loved every single one that we tried.The small delicious portions are just perfect with a few beverages and its a great party idea!Irrespective of whether you are meat eater or a vegetarian there’s something for every one.
I feel that the idea of serving small portions of a combination of appetizers or entrees is the best way to enjoy different flavors instead of a big meal and I could have these EVERY SINGLE DAY.
My recipe today involves Sweet Potato and some delicious Chorizo!I’ve used Smoked Chorizo here that adds that amazing smokiness to the dish.You all know how much I love Sweet Potatoes.I’ve used them in these amazing Sweet Potato Bites with Kale and Goat’s Cheese that’s also a great party starter.Coming back to this dish,spicing the sweet potatoes with some cumin and cayenne worked for me just fine.This Tapas has got the sweet,salty,smoky,spicy and the hubby couldn’t stop himself from finishing off the whole thing.Its that good.

I want a plate of these in front of me right now! From the looks of the chorizo, I’m assuming you used Spanish chorizo. I bet that strong flavor with sweet potato is a fabulous match!
