Chorizo

Chorizo is a seasoned, flavorful sausage originating from Spain and widely enjoyed in Latin America. Made primarily from pork, it features a blend of spices such as paprika, garlic, and chili peppers, giving it a distinctive red color and spicy, smoky taste. Chorizo can be cured and dried, making it shelf-stable, or fresh and cooked before eating. It is used in a variety of dishes, including stews, tacos, and tapas, adding rich, savory flavor. Its versatility and bold taste make it a popular ingredient in many cuisines.
