I love mexican chorizo and it is often impossible to find in my part of the country so I developed this delicious spicy Mexican style sausage recipe. It is usually used loose although you can put it in casings. It makes great tacos de chorizo, huevos con chorizo, chorizo con papas, soups, breakfasts, lunch and dinner dinners.
