27 Chorizo Recipes That Are Packed With Flavor

You’re probably familiar with crumbly chorizo as an ingredient in Mexican cuisine (it’s a popular taco filling) but that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this pork sausage. In fact, there are dozens of different types of chorizo. The two most common are Mexican chorizo (which is fresh, crumbly and needs to be cooked) and Spanish chorizo (which is cured and can be sliced and eaten as is). You can even make your own at home and customize it with your favorite seasonings if you’re into that sort of thing. Whatever you decide it’s important to note that the different types cannot be used interchangeably, so be mindful of which one your recipe calls for. Good news though, they’re all equally delicious—and these recipes prove it. Wondering where to start? Try this simple filling, inspired by the popular Mexican dish: papas con chorizo. You can’t go wrong with the hearty combination of potatoes and sausage.
