HOME MADE CHORIZO

Let's get mexican for a minute. Before you cry "stupid taco, this recipe isn't authentic" I'll point out my only rule of cooking. Modify *every* recipe to fit your tastes. Sometimes authentic simply isn't as good as something you mod to fit your needs. Always experiment, and never take a recipe as gospel. I've had dozens of variations of chorizo during my travels in mexico, and none of them contained the same ingredients, so think outside of the box. This one is my personal favorite. Again, this is a "no deep secret" recipe.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground beef
1 tblsp paprika, cayenne pepper, chipotle pepper, chili powder
1 tsp fennel, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, allspice

this one is rather easy. Mix all of the ingredients, by hand. make sure it's fully distributed. Leave in the fridge for a day to let the flavor soak. You can either buy sausage skins and stuff it yourself. It's rather easy, just fill up a 5-6 inch section, twist it in the skin about 8 times, then tie it off and cut it. Otherwise? Break it apart in a frying pan as you brown the meat. The 2 meats are essential, for depth of flavor. As always, experiment with the spices to find your perfect mix.
