- To cook raw Mexican chorizo, start by cutting one end of the chorizo link and push the fresh meat into a pan.
- Since Mexican chorizo is rich in fat, you don’t need to add any additional oil.
- Cook the chorizo over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often.
- You’ll know it’s ready when it turns from a bright red to a deep, dark red and most of the liquid is absorbed.
