BEST Mexican Chorizo Recipe

lb lean pork

oz pork fat

garlic (, minced)

ancho chile powder

sweet paprika

smoked paprika

dried Mexican oregano

cider vinegar

Place the meat in a large bowl and all all remaining ingredients. Use your hands to thoroughly combine the mixture. Place the it in a colander or sieve over a bowl, cover the top with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 3 days, daily squeezing out and discarding any liquid (this isn&#39;t absolutely necessary but it will more closely resemble the texture of store-bought chorizo). After 3 days, divide the meat up into 6 little 4 oz loaves, wrap each one in plastic wrap and place the loaves in a freezer bag or wrap again in aluminum foil. You can also use wax or freezer paper.

The chorizo will keep in the freezer for up to 4 months. Storing it longer doesn&#39;t really pose a safety concern, but the taste will suffer.Makes 1 1/2 pounds.

Really terrific Mexican chorizo, thank you!

Mixed this recipe just the Spices with 1lb Jimmy Dean Sausage ! Wow What a Flavor Punch !

I've made this recipe twice now. I gave some to  2 of my neighbors, that came here from Mexico,and both families were impressed with it. They both requested more. To me that says Great recipe. I only added 1 ingredient, 1/2 tsp of Cayenne powder. Thank you for posting this recipe.

I've tried at least 5 other recipes and this one is Excellent. My neighbors find it hard to believe that this older White guy made it. I personally enjoyed very much. Just FYI most of my neighbors are from Mexico. I'm going to make another 3.5 lbs tonight. I'm going to add a little Cayenne to it for a little extra kick. Thank you for posting this recipe.

I have made this recipe and it turned really good. I have it written down in my little notebook and forgot where I found it from and stumbled across it again. This time it's getting bookmarked. I've used the store-bought stuff before until I read the ingredients. I DON'T THINK SO! This recipe seemed to make the most sense as far as ingredients and handling (fridge time).

Fabulous!!! Thank you for the recipe.  I just found your website. I will return frequently.

Okay - This is a keeper. I made it with ground turkey and it’s still very tasty. Thanks for sharing.
