Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Fideos

    In the same pot, add the fideos and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Add roasted garlic, tequila, chipotle peppers, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Steam the Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Stir in the cooked chorizo and fresh parsley. Serve the mussels and fideos in bowls with grilled bread on the side.
