Equipment
- Large skillet
- Large Bowl
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Paprika
- 1.5 tablespoons Chili powder
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried coriander
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1.5 pounds Ground pork (or ground beef, ground chicken, or ground turkey for a lighter option)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 small Onion thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
Instructions
- In a small bowl or jar, simply stir together the paprika, chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, coriander, sea salt, and cinnamon. This flavorful blend is your secret weapon for amazing taste!
- Place your ground pork (or chosen meat) in a large bowl. Sprinkle the prepared spice mixture evenly over it and gently mix by hand until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure your chorizo stays tender.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it's shimmering. Add the minced garlic and thinly sliced onions. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant and the onions become soft, translucent, and slightly browned at the edges.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the seasoned pork mixture to the skillet and break it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Fry for 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the meat is fully browned and cooked through. The higher heat helps achieve a nice browning without leaving it too greasy.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the white vinegar. Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Your delicious, healthy homemade chorizo is now ready to be enjoyed in tacos, with eggs, or in any of your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes!
