About the cut: Mexican chorizo is a coarsely textured, spiced sausage with complex, spicy flavors and a rich red color that comes from red chili peppers. A staple of Mexican cuisine, chorizo can be cooked in its casing or removed and prepared like ground meat.
This recipe was created by our partner, Derek Wolf, at Over the Fire Cooking, who made the dish on the Judge Charcoal Grill, but you can make it on your grill or smoker.
