Chorizo Mixture

Fresh Ingredients

Method

Prepare Chorizo

  1. 1

    Mix the Chorizo Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the spices are evenly incorporated into the meat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chorizo mixture and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully cooked and browned, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Prepare Fresh Ingredients

  1. 3

    Chop the Onion

    Peel and dice the onion into small pieces. Set aside for later use.

  2. 4

    Chop the Cilantro

    Rinse the fresh cilantro under cold water. Shake off excess water and roughly chop the cilantro leaves. Set aside.

Combine Ingredients

  1. 5

    Mix Chorizo with Fresh Ingredients
