Recipes with chorizo
31 verified Mexican recipes with chorizo.
Mexican chorizo — fresh, marinated in dried chillies and vinegar, nothing like the Spanish cured kind — is the spark in chorizo-and-potato tacos, queso fundido, frijoles charros, molletes and Toluca's legendary green chorizo. It crumbles into the pan and infuses everything with its adobo.
