What it is
This is a fresh, uncooked pork sausage seasoned with a blend of chili peppers, paprika, and other spices. It has a vibrant red color and a coarse texture. The sausage is typically sold in a casing or as loose meat. It is a popular ingredient in Mexican cuisine, known for its bold flavor and slight heat.
How people cook with it
Mexican style pork chorizo adds a rich, spicy flavor to many dishes. It can be used as a primary ingredient or as a flavorful addition to other foods.
- Scrambled into eggs
- Added to tacos and burritos

To cook, remove the chorizo from its casing if applicable, or simply break up the loose meat. Cook in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.

It can be crumbled and added to sauces, fillings, or used as a topping.
