Picante Chorizo

Picante Chorizo

Everyday

Picante chorizo is a boldly seasoned pork sausage originating from Spanish and Mexican culinary traditions, distinguished by its fiery blend of smoked paprika, chili peppers, and garlic. This uncured sausage is typically sold raw, requiring cooking to develop its characteristic crumbly texture and deep red color from paprika. While rich in protein, it contains significant fat and sodium, making portion awareness key for health-conscious users. The spicy, smoky flavor profile makes it a popular choice for enhancing tacos, stews, and breakfast dishes.
