Chorizo
Chorizo is a spicy Mexican sausage, usually made from pork or beef. However, any ground meat can be used, so I haven't specified what meat to use in the recipe. Enjoy!

Have everything cool. Break up the meat, sprinkle evenly with the rest of the ingredients, cut in with two forks until evenly mixed, then knead a bit with your hands until well mixed. At this point the chorizo will keep for at least a couple weeks in your refrigerator, or let it season for a couple days in your refrigerator, then wrap it in small packages, (3-4 oz. is about right for two people), and it will freeze fine for months. It can also be stuffed into casings and smoked like any other pork sausage. (this recipe is from premieresystems.com)
