Chorizo 101
Chorizo is a spicy sausage believed to have come from Ancient Rome and later adopted by the Spaniards who brought it to Mexico.
Unlike Spanish Chorizo — Mexican style is soft, raw, uncured, and uncooked.
Similar to how Americans view bacon, Chorizo is a versatile ingredient one can use to enhance any dish!
Directions
Remove casing from Chorizo links.
Place desired amount in a non-stick skillet.
Break-up Chorizo while cooking at medium heat.
Sauté for 7-8 minutes until the Chorizo is fully cooked or the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees (F).
Enjoy on or in any dish.
