Tips
- You can use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
- You can use regular old chili powder, but it's fun to use specific chili powders like guajillo.
- You can cook the chorizo right away, freeze it, or let it sit overnight.
- If you like things spicy, add cayenne pepper.
- Mexican-style chorizo is made raw and cooked crumbled, while Spanish-style chorizo is traditionally cased and smoked.
