This looks delicious – Where do you purchase Alfresco Mexican Style Chicken Sausage? Having trouble locating it in my area – what could be substituted if unavailable?
Hi Sandy, I can find Alfresco Chicken sausages in most groceries in my area (MA) however you can substitute or any sausage you like. This particular sausage is fully cooked, so if you decide to use a raw sausage you’ll need to cook longer. Hope this helps
