Recipe tips.
- Not all store-bought chorizos are the same. If you want a more authentic version, be sure to try our homemade chorizo recipe.
- Chorizo tends to be spicy. You can dampen the heat by using a mild version or by adding sour cream or avocado.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag for up to 2 months.
