Tips:

  • Use a variety of chiles: Different chiles have different flavor profiles, so using a mix will create a more complex and flavorful chorizo spice mix.
  • Toast the chiles before grinding: This will help to bring out their flavor and aroma.
  • Grind the spices finely: This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the chorizo.
  • Use fresh spices: Fresh spices have a more intense flavor than dried spices.
  • Store the spice mix in an airtight container: This will help to preserve its flavor and aroma.
