I make mine hotter but this is a good starter recipe.
1 pound
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground lean pork
- 1 large onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 jalapeno
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (mexican if you can find it)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Directions
1
Put everything except the pork in a food processor and puree.2
Add 1/2 the pork, pulse, add remaining pork and pulse to mix well.3
Remove and wrap in waxed paper, then plastic wrap.4
I like to chill this for a day or two to let the spices do their thing!5
Salt to taste-I like this with alot of salt however 1 to 1 and 1/2 teaspoons is a good start.

I made this to go with Pepper Jack Bread Chorizo Melts. It was wonderful! Dh wondered if there was any extra to make with omelettes for tomorrow. Thank you for posting!

This is one of the better recipes I've found. One thing missing however is salt. I didn't realize until I made it and cooked it how bland it was and after reviewing the recipe again I realized the error. I added salt and Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. That did the trick!

Much better than 95% of the chorizo that you purchase in the store. Terrific!
