Chorizo

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, smoked paprika, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form Chorizo

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties or keep it loose to use as crumbled chorizo.

  3. 3

    Cook Chorizo

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo patties or crumbles and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm as a filling for tacos, in breakfast burritos, or as a topping for salads.
