Mexican Chorizo, Raw

Mexican Chorizo, Raw

EverydayRaw

Mexican chorizo is a raw, uncured sausage traditionally made with coarsely ground pork seasoned with chili peppers, paprika, vinegar, and garlic. Unlike its Spanish counterpart, which is cured and smoked, this fresh sausage requires cooking and develops a crumbly texture when browned. Its bold, spicy flavor profile and high fat content (typically 20-30%) make it a common base for tacos, breakfast dishes, and stews, though it also contains notable protein at 10-15g per serving.
