Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork (finely ground)
  • 4 tablespoons chili powder (ground dried chile pepper)
  • 2 tablespoons ground paprika
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic (crushed)
  • 1/2 cup vinegar

Instructions

Gather the ingredients. In a large bowl, use your hands to mix the ingredients until they are well combined. Use immediately in your favorite recipe calling for Mexican chorizo, or refrigerate or freeze the sausage in an airtight container for later use. Serve and enjoy! To Cook: Fry chorizo over medium heat, breaking up the sausage with a fork as you go so that the finished product is “loose” and not chunky. Drain off excess fat; discard or save (like bacon grease often is) for another use.
