SOUTH-OF-THE-BORDER ESSENTIALS: CHORIZO SPICE MIX
I love freshly made chorizo sausage; however, to make a "traditional" Mexican chorizo takes about 3 days of waiting. When using chorizo as an ingredient in a recipe, this spice mix gives you almost the exact flavor without any waiting time. In addition, you can tweak the ingredients to suit your personal tastes and it...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. The proportions listed are enough to flavor 1 pound of pork, beef, or chicken.
- 3. What is Chorizo? A lot of sausages use the name chorizo, but the most well known (and can be found in well-stocked grocers around the country) are Spanish and Mexican. The Spanish variety uses diced pork and is cured for a long period of time. The Mexican version (the one we are making) uses ground meat and spices and is traditionally ready in about 3 days. This recipe creates awesome chorizo, and can be used right away.
- 4. Uses for Chorizo • Stirred in with scrambled eggs. • Sautéed up with potatoes and spices to make Mexican hash. • Used to make tacos, enchiladas, and queso dip. • Mixed in with a bowl of red beans and rice. • Add some to ground beef and make a Mexican meatloaf. The possibilities are endless... Have some fun with it.
- 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 6. Add all of the dry spices together.
- 7. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground chicken, pork, or beef.
- 8. Add the ground spices, the baked garlic, and apple-cider vinegar, then mix together. I like to use my hands.
- 9. PLATE/PRESENT
- 10. Use immediately with your favorite Mexican recipes or freeze for later use. This is my version of a Mexican meatloaf. Enjoy.
- 11. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
