Homemade Spicy Chorizo Tacos

I love a good Chorizo, and I like it meaty, spicy and fresh.
I'll take it plain, but prefer it garnished with cebolla, cilantro, salsa verde and a squeeze of limon.
It's superb with papas and/or huevos, or added to many other dishes.

Spicy Chorizo

3lbs Ground pork
6T White Vinegar
5T Hot Paprika
2T each Arbol, Guajillo and Ancho chile powders
2T Granulated garlic
2t each fine salt, black pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander and ground Mexican oregano
1t each cinnamon and ground clove

Mix spices together in a medium sized bowl, place pork into a large mixing bowl, spread spices and pour vinegar over the meat.
Mix very thoroughly for even incorporation into the meat.
Can be cooked immediately, better when stored in an airtight container for 12-24 hours.
Use within three days or freeze.

I like to fry it till it has lots of crunchy edges.

Finished!
Fresh corn tortillas lightly fried, some re-fried beans and garnished with a squeeze of lime, chopped onion and cilantro.

Awesome chili I love chorizo surprised you didn't stuff it. Use to find chorizo sausage in local stores but not anymore, they have gone more to andouille. But this for sure is on my bucket list

Thank you David!
Don't know why I used 'cal', meant to use' Limon'.

Thanks Chop!
This was my first time making my own spice blend, it cam out pretty good.
Normally I add packaged chorizo to pork sausage to bulk it up and make it meaty.
Then I add spices to liven it up.

Ándale Pues!

Hell yeah, don't ya know it! Mmmm chorizo!
And I put a pound and a half in the freezer for later.

Man that looks good.

Thank you Warren!
I sometimes buy linked chorizo, though it's mostly kind of mediocre.
No stuffer so no stuffing my own sausages.
