Mexican Chorizo
Mexican Chorizo
Chorizo is one of my favorite sausages. I’ve made thousands upon thousands of pounds of it as a butcher. Chorizo’s main flavor comes form ancho chili powder, which is very mild. If you are looking to have a spicier chorizo, add cayenne pepper to the mix. Chorizo is great in tacos, eggs, soups, with potatoes, and much more. If you happen to have a Kitchen Aid mixer with the sausage attachment, you can make this into links. Chorizo is even better smoked, like myself.
