Chorizo Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Chorizo Recipe). I love the flavor of chorizo but cannot stomach the thought of the variety meats traditionally used to make it. This is an authentic chorizo from the Mexican state of Sonora. I obtained the recipe from a gentleman named Bruce Moffitt and have since modified it slightly.
