How to Make Nana's Chorizo

  1. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine 1 lb chorizo (removed from casings), 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup paprika, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat), 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Gently mix in 1/4 cup olive oil.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo mixture and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (approximately 10-15 minutes).
  5. Serve hot with eggs, toast, or your favorite breakfast sides.
