Here is what I found on Google:

Mexican Style Chorizo

2 lbs. boneless pork butt or shoulder

1 garlic clove

2 Tbs. chile powder

1 Tbs. paprika

2 tsp. Mexican oregano, well crumbled

1 tsp. coarse salt

3/4 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. ground cayenne chile

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

Enough pork fat if necessary to make a 2-to-1 meat to fat ratio Cut meat (and 
fat, if necessary) into chunks. Spread out on a pie pan or cookie sheet and 
place in freezer to chill (not long enough to freeze, just long enough to 
become firm). Grind meat and fat together twice, using a coarse blade. Remove 
skin from garlic clove, finely dice it, sprinkle it with coarse salt, and crush 
it with back of a dinner fork. Add garlic and spices to wine vinegar and knead 
it well into meat/fat mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least a couple of hours 
or overnight. The sausage can be stuffed into prepared casings or formed into 
patties or appropriate size bulk portions and refrigerated for up to 3 days 
before use after which any remaining should be frozen.

 

 

 

Bbest authentic easy Chorizo

Since seeing that I haven’t been able to stomach the thought of ever eating 
store-bought chorizo again.  I don’t trust it.  That’s right, I have trust 
issues with chorizo. So, I make my own. I don’t bother using the sausage 
casings – no point since when cooking chorizo you remove it from the casing 
anyway. So I either grind my own pork or have the butcher do it for me. That 
way I know EXACTLY what’s in it!  And, more importantly, what ISN’T!

 

Chorizo is a heavily spiced sausage commonly used in Mexican dishes. It’s 
crumbled and fried up with whatever other ingredients the dish calls for. It’s 
made with a variety of ingredients, including various ground chiles, coriander, 
cumin, cloves, cinnamon, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, vinegar, etc. Many 
recipes call for about 1/4 lb at a time, so I divide it up into 1/4 lb 
“sausages” and freeze them so they’re ready for use when I need them.

 

And as for my chronic trust issues with store-bought chorizo…I’m afraid it’s a 
hopeless case, a lost relationship.  I don’t think I can ever learn to trust it 
again . I suppose we could seek counseling together, store-bought chorizo and 
I, but what’s the use? We never loved each other in the first place, have since 
lost the ability to communicate, and Now it’s too late, baby, now it’s too late…

Store-bought chorizo:  We’re through.

(Thanks, Carole King, for those fitting lyrics.)

 

This homemade Mexican chorizo is super simple to make.  I did the work in 
experimenting with the different spices and ratios – now all you have to do is 
combine the spices with the meat and you’re done!  It’s really that simple.  
And this chorizo tastes good!  Just grab some ready-made chorizo from the 
freezer whenever you need it.

 

Many authentic Mexican recipes call for chorizo. 

 

Wrap the individual 1/4 pound logs in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer 
ziplock bag.  Then you can grab one whenever you need it, let it thaw and use 
it!

Enjoy!

 

Simple and quick to make and bursting with flavor, you can have have this

Chorizo sausages originated in Spain and Portugal, and versions of them
exist throughout Latin  America. Unlike most varieties of Iberian chorizo
(which is a cured and dried in a way somewhat  similar to salami or
pepperoni), Mexican chorizo is actually a raw sausage that must be cooked
before eating. If you're looking at learning  how to make chorizo , you've
found the perfect recipe. In its commercial form, it generally comes in
casings that are  just broken open and discarded when frying the sausage, so
we have dispensed with the casings here.  Chorizo is usually employed in
relatively small quantities to add a great flavor boost to countless Mexican
dishes; see suggestions for use below the recipe.

Although most Mexican chorizo is red in color due to the dried chile pepper
and paprika used in the  recipe, the area around the city of Toluca (in
central Mexico) is famous for the green chorizo it  produces, which is made
with tomatillos, cilantro, and/or green chiles.

 

Ingredients

2 pounds pork (finely ground) 

 4 tablespoons chili powder (ground dried chile pepper) 

 3 tablespoons ground paprika 

 2 teaspoons dried oregano 

 1 pinch ground cinnamon 

 1 pinch ground cloves 

 1 tablespoon ground cumin 

 1 teaspoon salt 

 2 cloves fresh garlic (crushed) 

 1/2 cup white vinegar 

 

Steps to Make It

Gather the ingredients.

In a large bowl, use your hands to mix the ingredients until they are well
combined.

Use immediately in your favorite recipe calling for Mexican chorizo, or
refrigerate or freeze the  sausage in an airtight container for later use.

Serve and enjoy!

Tip

To Cook: Fry chorizo over medium heat, breaking up the sausage with a fork
as you go so that the  finished product is "loose" and not chunky. Drain off
excess fat; discard or save (like bacon  grease often is) for another use.

Uses for Mexican Chorizo  

It would be virtually impossible to make a complete list of how chorizo is
employed in Mexican  cuisine. Some of the most common uses:

___

Stirred into scrambled eggs: Fry chorizo in a skillet, drain off excess fat,
then add lightly  beaten eggs and cook and stir until eggs are set. Eat
as-is (with tortillas and sliced avocado) or  use to fill burritos or tacos.

Combined with diced, cooked or sautéed potatoes as a filling for tacos,
enchiladas, empanadas, or  pambazos.

Mixed with melted cheese to make queso fundido  (also called choriqueso);
use as a dip or spread on tortillas, tostadas, or bread.

As a topping for sopes, tostadas,  nachos , or other similar antojitos.

Stirred into refried beans to eat as a side dish or as a spread for molletes
or tortas.

Combined with other ground meats and used to stuff a roasted turkey or other
fowl.

Added to shredded beef to make Tinga.

Combined with cooked beans, tomatoes, onions, and seasonings to produce
frijoles charros.

As a topping for a very Mexican pizza.

Used sparingly as a flavorful ingredient in certain hearty cream soups such
as bean soup.

Mexican or South American sausage. Recipes vary depending on where they're 
from, with the Mexican chorizo being harsher than the more southern types.

enough to become firm). Grind meat and fat together twice, using a coarse 
blade. Remove skin from garlic clove, finely dice it, sprinkle it with coarse

Chorizo sausages originated in Spain and Portugal, and versions of them exist 
throughout Latin  America. Unlike most varieties of Iberian chorizo (which is a 
cured and dried in a way somewhat  similar to salami or pepperoni), Mexican 
chorizo is actually a raw sausage that must be cooked before eating. If you're 
looking at learning  how to make chorizo , you've found the perfect recipe. In 
its commercial form, it generally comes in casings that are  just broken open 
and discarded when frying the sausage, so we have dispensed with the casings 
here.  Chorizo is usually employed in relatively small quantities to add a 
great flavor boost to countless Mexican dishes; see suggestions for use below 
the recipe.

Although most Mexican chorizo is red in color due to the dried chile pepper and 
paprika used in the  recipe, the area around the city of Toluca (in central 
Mexico) is famous for the green chorizo it  produces, which is made with 
tomatillos, cilantro, and/or green chiles.

 

Ingredients

2 pounds pork (finely ground) 

 4 tablespoons chili powder (ground dried chile pepper) 

 3 tablespoons ground paprika 

 2 teaspoons dried oregano 

 1 pinch ground cinnamon 

 1 pinch ground cloves 

 1 tablespoon ground cumin 

 1 teaspoon salt 

 2 cloves fresh garlic (crushed) 

 1/2 cup white vinegar 

 

Steps to Make It

Gather the ingredients.

In a large bowl, use your hands to mix the ingredients until they are well 
combined.

Use immediately in your favorite recipe calling for Mexican chorizo, or 
refrigerate or freeze the  sausage in an airtight container for later use.

Serve and enjoy!

Tip

To Cook: Fry chorizo over medium heat, breaking up the sausage with a fork as 
you go so that the  finished product is "loose" and not chunky. Drain off 
excess fat; discard or save (like bacon  grease often is) for another use.

Uses for Mexican Chorizo  

It would be virtually impossible to make a complete list of how chorizo is 
employed in Mexican  cuisine. Some of the most common uses:

___

Stirred into scrambled eggs: Fry chorizo in a skillet, drain off excess fat, 
then add lightly  beaten eggs and cook and stir until eggs are set. Eat as-is 
(with tortillas and sliced avocado) or  use to fill burritos or tacos.

Combined with diced, cooked or sautéed potatoes as a filling for tacos, 
enchiladas, empanadas, or  pambazos.

Mixed with melted cheese to make queso fundido  (also called choriqueso); use 
as a dip or spread on tortillas, tostadas, or bread.

As a topping for sopes, tostadas,  nachos , or other similar antojitos.

Stirred into refried beans to eat as a side dish or as a spread for molletes or 
tortas.

Combined with other ground meats and used to stuff a roasted turkey or other 
fowl.

Added to shredded beef to make Tinga.

Combined with cooked beans, tomatoes, onions, and seasonings to produce 
frijoles charros.

As a topping for a very Mexican pizza.

Used sparingly as a flavorful ingredient in certain hearty cream soups such as 
bean soup.

No it’s not hard to fine I must miss wrote what I said, it takes apple
cider vinegar, a little bit of cumin garlic and some ground chili like
Mexico chili, or some other brand I have to going to to find it LOL but no
it’s easy to find and yes chorizo is a Mexican sausage that can be spicy or
mild depending on how it’s made, you could use beef or pork some people use
ground chicken

Chorizo is a really good spicy sausage. Ground chili apple vinegar sounds like 
something I need to get. Is it easy to find?
