How to Cook Mexican Chorizo

- Cooking raw Mexican pork chorizo can be daunting for your first time. It's messy, but oh so good.
Watch as I show you what you'll end up with when you are done pan frying some good pork chorizo.
- Mexican Pork Chorizo is a raw product that must be cooked.
- Unlike Spanish Chorizo that is a cured sausage that can be sliced and eaten like pepperoni, or salami.
- This Chorizo is perfect alongside eggs, in tacos or burritos, or stuffed into jalapeños.
Probably would’ve been eating cereal all my life if people didn’t make these videos god bless you.
Same. Had to look up how to make scrambled eggs once 😅
@@brianrivera0 same 💀
You wrote this comment on every chorizo video😭

I cooked chorizo for the first time today. Made it with onions, tomatoes, potatoes and eggs. Sooo good!
Did you cook the potatoes first then add it to the chorizo?
@@shesasunshinemsp6805 yes I did
You did it exactly right!
I feel like because I’m Mexican I should know how to cook chorizo, but I didn’t. I burnt the jeebers out of it. I really needed this. Thank you to the wonderful angel who posted this video
Add a little bit of water....it creates steam to help cook and keeps it from burning....it will evaporate away also
your Mexican license has been revoked. shame on you
I would assume with Chorizo is that because it's crushed up during cooking you gotta be careful as it will cook fast being in such small pieces. I dont blame you for burning it because they say your supposed to cook meat all the way but I'd also imagine it being kinda hard to burn as chorizo sausage is heavy in oil. Either way I wanna try making some.
i also burnt mines and looked up this video after. Currently eating my burnt chorizo while watching 😢
Cooking chorizo, wondering when its going to get done. Went on UA-cam and found this video. It is done. Thanks.
Thanks Erich!
same, i love it in restaurants, but want to learn to do it myself. plus i want to cut it into ground beef and make some burgers and meatloaf with some zing.
160° internal temperature, it's done
who is is here because their mom told them to make chorizo and the dont know how
I ussually like to cook my Chorizo a bit longer, and reduce the heat after a while, to render out some of the fat and get a nice crunch on some of the pieces. This is especially true when you buy the Chorizo that comes in plastic casing like this. Otherwise it will come out pasty or "soupy" as described here. This will also reduce some of the spices/flavors together and make it taste better.
If you get fresh traditional Chorizo in an animal intestine casing from a local Carneceria, then you don't need to cook it as long to get the desired consistency, as it will be a real sausage that's more crumbly/solid.
Wish I had watched this before I cooked it for the first time. I assumed it was uncooked out of the package, but it never seemed to be 'done', as it just stays loose the whole time. Smelled amazing, though.
That's exactly why I decided to post this video. I had no idea until I tried it.
Thanks for watching!
I just said the same thing had eggs onions mushrooms n jalapeño ready for my omelette. Resorted back to bacon. 😂 will try again.
Thank you for the video, sir! Even with as many cooking channels as there are these days, yours is the only one I found that's just about cooking ground chorizo by itself, and not turning it into a dish.
I have never thought of putting chorizo in a popper recipe. Thanks for the idea!
We use it with eggs potatos and refried beans . Its amazing with beans on flour tortillas .
Get all that grease and store it in the fridge. It adds a kick to anything you cook it with.
I just had a chorizo, egg, and cheese omelet. Loved it!
Sounds delicious!
Gracias. Por tu video, realmente no sabia que tenían nylon. Es la primera vez que compro un chorizo así. Soy de Uruguay estoy en california. En Uruguay se comen con su forma y con diferente elaboración.
Put the oven on 400, cut plantains lengthwise, throw hella butter and bake 40min! Make the chorizo. Stuff the plantains, add mozzarella. Let it melt! If your feeling fancy make avocado cream sauce. Boom! Delicious💝 ur welcome.
Homemade chorizo doesn’t have that much grease at all. Omg, those chorizo poppers look sooo good!
You did so good. I found every thing I needed.
I just had a great idea. I bought Italian hot sausage which is has a few spices and added
some Mexican herbs and spices and vinegar and made Mexican chorizo.
Follow the directions for cooling and cooking from other You tubers.😎🌮
🤔🤔 not a bad idea👍🏾😉
Rule 1 with chorizo don’t drain the grease!!
Facts
What do you do with it?
😞 glad you posted that I would have been mad as F 😂😂👍🏾😂
St. Gideon cook chorizo and then cook eggs in it. With thin flour tortillas, cheese (Monterrey or whatever), and hot sauce/salsa of your choice you have a delicious breakfast taco.
For sure
This looks delicious. I have always wanted to try Chorizo. You've got craving it now.
I think it's so delicious. But... and it's a big but... I only eat it about every other month. It's pretty intense in flavor.
Thanks for watching and commenting Scott!

HotSauceDaily It's good that you don’t eat it that often. It’s really tasty but really unhealthy
Really I eat chorizo almost everyday because am mexican
@@azarbomb1832 same lmao
Lmaooo no cap my first time making it i was just high asf thinking did I make this shit right ?😂😂like it was all "soupy" just like you said but I guess I didn't pretty Allright for my first go thanks man🤣👍
You should get the fresh one it tastes way better
Thanks for the video! Should have watched your video first! I cooked some today, and as you mention, it is very surprising how much fat is rendered. I spooned off some of the fat, kept the rest. It was great!
Thank you for this video. I'm cooking chorizo for the first time this morning. I looked at a few other videos before this one but yours is the one that makes me feel confident enough to go into the kitchen.
I hope your chorizo turned out good for you. It really is delicious stuff.
Thank you for the nice words, Sandra.
@@Hotsaucedaily it came out perfectly delicious because I wasn't thrown off by the weird way it looks and I knew when it was done thanks to your video.
By far, my favorite sausage to accompany green salad in the summer months. Unfortunately almost always I can't get it pre-smoked. So, just like this gentleman, I have to cook it first.
Yum yum yummy@ Thx
*I cook one of those same things with my eggs in the morning . Same brand you have here the La Banderita . i get mine at Walmart cut the metal band off one end and just squeeze the Chorizo out directly into the pan and cook it like a regular sausage*
I never knew about the paper towel trick to get rid of all that grease! 10/10
Thank you for this video! My family made chorizo for the 1st time recently. We were so confused because of how much grease and how to tell if it’s cooked all the way, we didn’t like it. This video helped- hopefully our 2nd time making chorizo will be a success!
Mija Jones Really glad this helped you! Thanks for watching and commenting. ❤️
I thought you had to cook it with oil. Had no idea it basically cooks itself.
Just bought dome after work came home and was like now how do I cook it lol
Thanks for this video
I put chorizo in some stuffed peppers once and it was great.
Great idea!
Life Hack: absorb the grease by throwing 2 eggs in the pan and you end up with chorizo & eggs for tacos.
Yes!
I just did this on accident and had to come check a video to make sure I'm not about to end up sick 😂
Looks absolutely awesome!
Well, thank you Tom! I do love the flavor. I plan to make some chorizo chili soon!
Hey thanks for the video I just got some and wondered how long to cook it, it looks exactly like in the video :)!
kuhataparunks Thanks! Enjoy the flavor, I love it.
Thanks for the video. Used for the first time and was confused by the consistency. Not what I expected!
Does anyone else HATE cooking as much as I do? I’m over here starving alone
I love cooking :)
If you take the paper towel and move it around with your spoon in the pan that will be easier. It will soak up the grease too. Tfs
Straining changed the flavor profile entirely and the meat was darkened to perfection 😊
He drains it🤣🤣
Life saver
Thank you for sharing!!!! This was extremely helpful!!!
Excellent video thank you for sharing
Thanks! Hope it helped you.
Bacon wrapped jalapenos are my favorite. Gotta try it with choriO next😊
I need to find that La Banderita brand. I can only find Cacique locally and it renders SO MUCH more fat. Glad I watched this to see you use the plate and paper towels. I always tired to strain it before lol doesn't work well.
I can find the 12oz chub at Food Lion, but I prefer the 1lb pack of 6 small chubs. Search out your local Mexican tienda store for the LaBanderita brand.
Avoid the Johnsonville chorizo! It sucked.
Need to eat it straight out of the pan 🔥💯 the grease is all flavor
Foreal? I bought a pound from a market yesterday and i drained it and wiped the pan :(
You're suppose to cook it till the fat dries up.
Thank you. Great video.
Wonderful video. Oh and I'm Saving it, gotta make those bacon wrapped poppers too! Thanks!
You actually found one that has meat. Most are just grease to flavor eggs etc.
It's a good brand - very tasty. Thanks!
Jajajaja
everytime i make my chorizo it alsways has a weird nasty after taste, do u know what is?
It also has a unique smell when cooking. I really like the stuff my family on the other hand does not, will make it again and try to tone it down with ground beef .
A local Mexican restaurant here has a Chorizo burrito that I hear is a blend of chorizo and ground beef, so that's certainly do-able! I've not tried it, but if I were to, I would season the ground beef as taco meat before adding it to the mix.
Let me know how it works out for ya! 🔥~brian
ThePThunter get regular sausage and cook it together with pork chorizo then add eggs
I put my homemade refried beans with it😋
To me it smells and tastes like the inside of a tamale. Love me some tamales!
I have found a brand that does not render so much messy fat, with terrific flavor.
I am multi cultural now, I can turn out biscuits and gravy or lay a table with chorizo and eggs, and black coffee.
T
What you can also do is while the fat is rendering, and filling up the skillet, you can get a clean paper towel and lay it on top of the chorizo while it is cooking, let some of that grease absorb into the paper towel, remove it and throw it away.
Great suggestion - thank you!
First time I bought chorizo here in Texas the first ingredient was "pig lips." A few years later I bought the same brand and the first ingredient listed was "olfactory parts."
I wonder what would happen if you cook the chorizo, then turn around and use the fat in the pan to make a chorizo quesadilla? I'm going to try it, but I'm betting I may have a heart attack
dont drain!...just add eggs in while it cooks..or potatos to absorb.
with eggs it becomes fluffy soft and more solid rather than mushy and crumbled :)
Hey can you help me?
I was thinking of adding diced potatoes, should I cooked the potatoes first then add them to the chorizo in the pan once it's fully cooked? And just let the potatoes soak up most the juice?
What kind of skillet do you use? I am over the ceramic and non stuck… can I use a Dutch over type material skillet? Great video! First time for me cooking chorizo.
Hi V. In the video I'm using a Le Cruset skillet. But I've had good results in cast iron and nonstick.
Bottom line is you're just slowly frying sausage.
😏😏 great video and thank you bro for posting it you👈🏽😉 just kept me from making a mess and may have thought I've wasted my money👍🏾 now I can eat it at home instead of going out to the restaurant and buying it😂😂😂
No, you're deleting all of the chorizo FLAVOR!!!
Thank you!
Wow thank you for the video. It never occurred to me to drain it in paper towels. I put it in eggs and it tasted great but they were way too runny. I’m going to try draining and then putting it in the eggs. Thanks!
You forgot the eggs
Thank you!!!❤️
Does tu/vous need to put oil in the pan? Can it be cooked as a log, so one can havve it on a bun, like Daygo sausage?
Ive asked friends & family how to cook chorizo and they they toss out a quick explanation.
.....still dont know how to cook it, like being able to tell if its done. Or which is the best to get, pork or beef.
Im dying to do eggs and chorizo! I shoulda came to UA-cam first. Tho ... Im still bit sure I get it. Guess I'm about to find out 😅
Making it for the first time today and came across your video. Thanks for sharing because I was wondering why it’s so soft and oily lol
But it tastes so good! I've upgraded my source for chorizo. Now I'm only buying the packaged products from Mexican grocers near me. Thanks BFF !
I just threw away that tube because I thought it didn’t cook right. Wow should have came to UA-cam instead of just google 🤦🏽♀️ this was so worth it. Guess I will try again cause my husband kept saying it smells great 🤷🏽♀️
Try chorizo with eggs
I use CHrizo for my spagettti...is that wrong
Omg you save me I thought i was going to burn it
He cooked it absolutely wrong. You’re supposed to cook it until the liquid has evaporated and the meat has become brown. Most people are impatient, missing out on flavor
I just cooked some for the first time, and I’m pretty sure this is why the Mexican half of my family all has health problems. My eggs were floating in grease…..I mean, it was gloriously delicious, but probably best to back off on this stuff.
I have this video downloaded and everytime I get a tube of cherizo I throw this on
I found your video after ALL READY cooking chorizo for the first time. I'm not sure which one I purchased but, it looked like it was semi-cooked already. Not like the one on this video. I wasn't sure how to cook it, so I just cooked it in a pan like I would cook bratwurst. I kept the chorizo in sausage form and kept flipping it until it was cooked all the way through.
I started eating it with regular sunny side up eggs, but the whole sausage chorizo was just too filling, so it probably should have been cut/smashed down. I was basically eating it like a bratwurst (full). 😁 I guess I'll know next time. lol
Chorizo in queso is yummy.
That's an awesome idea. We just happen to have some queso dip in the pantry. Thanks Susan! 🔥
I have some too and some chorizo. I love chorizo. I love it with potatoes as well but need to watch my carbs somewhat so I will cut out the potatoes ugh.
It’s called choriqueso. Chorizo with Mexican cheese on top melted. Example. Choriqueso tacos
I'm from El Paso Texas! The best chorizo in town is the Peyton's brand chorizo you have never really had chorizo unless you've tried Peyton's So good 😊 I have tried many others nothing tops it and surprisingly it's not sold in some places outside El Paso Texas but it's very famous here! 😁
is the chorizo suppose to pop in ur face while cooking cuz i had a hard time cooking chorizo?
Lol I know damn well most of these Mexicans eat the chorizo straight out the pan 😂😂 we don’t all use the paper towel cuz the chorizo will be dry
Isaac Torres no cappp😂😂
Facts lmao 😂
My guy knows how to live!!!!!!!
I never tried it. Is it worth the time/mess/oil? It looks like it might go well with scrambled eggs ?
Just made it for the first time myself a few minutes ago and yes it's perfect with eggs lol. Had that on tostadas(flat hard tortilla basically)
It's not unusual to leave the cooked, undrained chorizo in the skillit and add a handfull of boiled potatio chunks to sauté along with the sausage. There's possibly a video on this specific mix: (try 'Mexico, one dish at a time"). bon appetit!
I find your voice so soothing ❤
I bought one of these randomly and I won’t lie, I was so confused by the way it cooked and I had no idea whether it was still raw or fully cooked. Esp because it doesn’t brown with all of the fat released
Yea I was that way too. Had a neighbor help me out.
I hope this helped you a lot! 🔥
Homies cook some potatoes then throw chorizo cook for a few minutes then scramble eggs in it heat up a tortilla. Put mayo queso and salsa bam great ass burrito carnalit@s.
Algo bien 👍
When it's browned and hot, just roll in a couple of eggs into the same hot pan and boom! You're done. Add cheese and serve it up.
thank you! this helped
So ... basically you cook it in a pan. Very informative. Thank you.
Pretty much, yes. Thanks for watching!
13. home alone. making chorizo for the first time. might burn down the house idk. find out on the next episode of dragon ball z
I prefer longaniza . I love chorizo but longaniza is my favorite.
Pink cheese green goes. Now say it very fast
Pan day ho
Cool arrow
Thx my a kid and my i want make this
Don't make me beg! I want some chorizo and egg!
Chorizo grease equals flavor which you use to cook your potatoes and or your eggs....white men trying to cook mexican food? And I am a white man, but I can cook mexican food! Finely chop onions and serrano peppers and begin sautéing to release the aromatics then add the chorizo and stir around to cook....if it’s dry and tries to burn add just a little bit of water...the steam helps cook the chorizo and prevents burning, when done add your eggs and stir till done and throw on a hot blistered flour tortilla.....
Is this a raw sausage product?
Yes
Literally says it in the video
I had to learn this because my momnsaid i have to make this for my nephew s
Thanks man u saved our asses
Thank you so much 👏🏽👏🏽
Dumb question can you boil chorizo 👀w soup
Yes you can boil it
This is where everybody brags how mexican they are
thanks to you i looked at my family tree, up the trunk to the tippy-top of all the branches, none. chopped down the tree, none. dug up all the roots underground, none. 100% American, thank goodness!
@@basketofdependables4244 Good job . Keep it up.
@@basketofdependables4244 does that to you mean native american? or your ancestors colonized america?.. which would mean, well you know...
I am sitting here watching this video on my computer. I see the steam and it is cooking and I am trying to get close to the screen to smell the steam. LOL Just bought chorizo and now will try to cook it now that I see the correct way.
Very cool. Hope you love it like we do!
We usually put ours on a strainer bc it has so much grease
Holy shit he drained the good stuff!!!
I was like Nooooo!! Lol
It looks amazing but What!? It takes 8 minutes to cook??? Mine looks like yours in 3 minutes. It's so sticky i don't want it to burn😢😢
Orale guey, Thanks!
do not drain the grease
Great video ❤️❤️❤️
