Mexican Chorizo from Ground Pork

← Pork

Ingredients

  • Ground pork. The best ground pork for chorizo has a high fat content. I like to use one with a 70/30 ratio (70% meat to 30% fat). Some people add extra pork fat, but that’s a little too fatty for my tastes.
  • Dried chiles. I used guajillo and ancho chiles, you could add a spicy dried chile like an arbol chile or chipotle if you want some heat.
  • Kosher salt
  • Garlic
  • Smoked paprika
  • White onion
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Black pepper
  • Ground cumin
  • Ground coriander

Instructions

  • Toast and soak the chiles.
  • Blend remaining ingredients together in a blender (except the ground pork).
  • Mix blended spice mixture with the ground pork.
  • Cook with a little oil in a skillet over medium heat and enjoy or save for later!
