How To Cook Chorizo

All you need to know about: How To Cook Chorizo.

Ingredients

1 lb chorizo

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. Place the chorizo on a baking sheet in a single layer.

3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping the chorizo halfway through baking.

4. After 15 minutes, remove the chorizo from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

5. Cut the chorizo into small slices and serve with your favorite side dishes.

Tips

1. If you’re using pre-cooked chorizo, reduce the cooking time to 10 minutes.

2. If you’d rather fry the chorizo, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo to the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping every few minutes.

3. Chorizo can also be cooked in a slow cooker. Place the chorizo in the slow cooker, add a cup of water, and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.

4. Leftover chorizo can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Serving Suggestions

Chorizo is a great addition to tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and other Mexican-inspired dishes. It can also be served as a topping for nachos, as an appetizer, or as part of a breakfast spread.
