How to Make Chorizo Mexican Sausage
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Thoroughly mix all ingredients until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for optimal flavor development.
