Spicy Chorizo Sausage

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Chorizo Sausage.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a small bowl and mix together the ground New Mexico chile, red wine vinegar, dried Mexican oregano, water, minced garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, crushed cumin seeds, white sugar, and ground black pepper.

2. Step 2

   Give it a good stir until the salt and sugar dissolve completely into the mixture, creating a flavorful marinade.

3. Step 3

   Next, take another bowl and break up the ground pork, allowing it to become nice and crumbly.

4. Step 4

   Pour that vibrant spice mixture over the pork and knead it all together until every bit of meat is coated in those delicious flavors.

5. Step 5

   You can use your homemade chorizo right away, but if you have the time, let it sit in the fridge for 8 hours or even overnight.

6. Step 6

   This resting period allows the spices to meld beautifully, enhancing the taste.

7. Step 7

   When you’re ready to cook, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

8. Step 8

   Add your seasoned chorizo and cook it, stirring occasionally, until it turns a lovely golden brown and becomes crumbly, which should take about 10 minutes.

   The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist! Enjoy your chorizo in tacos, burritos, or any dish that could use a spicy kick.
