Meat

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the ground chorizo with paprika, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

  2. 2

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chorizo

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chorizo to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
