What Is Chorizo?
Mexican style chorizo is a flavorful, boldly seasoned sausage made primarily from ground pork mixed with a rich blend of spices like chili powder, paprika, garlic, cumin, and vinegar. Unlike Spanish chorizo, which is cured and sliced, Mexican chorizo is sold uncured and needs to be cooked before eating. It has a reddish color and a spicy, slightly tangy flavor that adds a kick to any dish. When cooked, it crumbles like ground beef and is commonly used in tacos, breakfast burritos, quesadillas, or mixed with eggs, potatoes, or beans. Its robust taste and savory aroma make it a favorite in Mexican home cooking.
How Can I Use It?
Mexican chorizo is incredibly versatile and adds bold flavor to a wide variety of dishes. Here are some tasty ways to use it:
-
Chorizo and Eggs (Huevos con Chorizo): A classic Mexican breakfast—just scramble chorizo with eggs and serve with tortillas.
-
Chorizo Tacos: Cook and crumble the chorizo, then serve it in soft corn tortillas with onions, cilantro, and salsa.
-
Chorizo Quesadillas: Add cooked chorizo and cheese between two tortillas and toast until crispy and melty.
-
Chorizo Breakfast Burritos: Wrap chorizo, scrambled eggs, potatoes, and cheese in a warm tortilla.
-
Chorizo-Stuffed Peppers: Mix chorizo with rice, beans, and cheese, then stuff into bell peppers and bake.
-
Chorizo Mac and Cheese: Stir cooked chorizo into creamy mac and cheese for a spicy twist.
-
Chorizo and Potato Tacos (Tacos de Papas con Chorizo): Combine crispy diced potatoes with chorizo for a hearty filling.
-
Chorizo Chili or Stew: Add depth to soups and chilis by using chorizo alongside or in place of other meats.
-
Chorizo Pizza: Use it as a spicy topping along with cheese, onions, and peppers.
How Ours Is Different
When made with our pasture-raised pork, Mexican chorizo has a noticeably richer, cleaner, and more robust flavor compared to versions made with conventionally raised pork. The meat itself tends to have a slightly sweeter, deeper pork flavor because pasture-raised pigs often have a more varied and natural diet, which enhances the taste and texture of the meat. This quality complements the bold spices in chorizo, resulting in a more balanced, savory bite—where the spices don’t overwhelm but instead work in harmony with the meat. You may also notice less greasiness and a more satisfying mouthfeel, making dishes feel heartier and more wholesome.
