- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce
- 2 large bottled roasted red bell peppers (about 4 ounces), drained
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

- 4 ounces Spanish chorizo, cut into 32 (1/16-inch) slices
- 1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
- Preheat broiler.
- Combine first 8 ingredients (through garlic); pulse until blended. Slowly add oil through food chute with food processor on; process until smooth. Set aside 1/4 cup sauce; reserve remaining sauce for another use.
- Split sandwich rounds; cut out 32 (1 1/4-inch) circles using a sharp round cookie cutter. Arrange bread in a single layer on a baking sheet; top evenly with cheese. Broil 3 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from oven. Top each with 1 slice chorizo, 1/4 teaspoon romesco, and 1 parsley leaf.
