Chilorio de Longaniza
This is one of my favorite recipes from when I was little, because both of my parents cooked it, usually on a Saturday or Sunday. They would serve it with a rustic salsa made in a molcajete, homemade tortillas my mom made by hand, and freshly cooked beans straight from the pot. We’d have it with a cup of atole blanco or a special pot-brewed coffee. It was the most delicious thing we could eat on a weekend, and if we begged enough, my mom would make us some gorditas pellizcadas too. The longaniza was always bought in my hometown—so delicious!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a skillet, brown the longaniza. If it’s fresh, it’s easier to remove the casing. It will release juices; once it dries out, add oil if needed. Stir occasionally and lower the heat.
- 2
In a separate skillet, add the peppers (washed and dried) and brown them with a little oil (if they’re wet, the oil will splatter). On a griddle or skillet, roast the tomatoes (also washed).
- 3
Be sure to turn the peppers and tomatoes regularly so they don’t burn on one side.
- 4
Meanwhile, check the longaniza—it should be almost ready. Remove the tomatoes and peppers from the heat. Place them in your blender, add the garlic, and pulse just enough to break up the peppers and make a chunky salsa.
- 5
Once ready, add the salsa to the longaniza and top with cubes of queso fresco. Check for salt, since the longaniza is already salty. This chilorio is great for filling tamales, gorditas, making tacos de canasta, tortas, and many other dishes.

I used it in Chilorio Tamales—you can find my masa recipe on Cookpad—or serve it as a main dish for breakfast or lunch.

Or try it in delicious gorditas pellizcadas, with flour or corn tortillas.

I love all the flavors of Mexican cuisine. The pork chilorio is something I stumbled on by accident pre-packaged as I was looking for corn husks to make tamales. A happy accident. 😋🤩

Chorizo Chili Chorizo Chili
This recipe started out as a surprisingly awesome fridge cleanout that really seems to have caught on with friends and readers. I think there's something universally appealing about the savory comfort of a good bowl of chili. Throw some chorizo in there, and it becomes all the more irresistible.I always like to serve chili with chopped fresh tomatoes, onions, chilies, and cilantro on the side as well as grated cheese and sour cream.

This recipe is not mine (i found it online quite a while ago and have been using it since). I have modified it for only 1 lbs of sausage. It is a great base for some tasty chorizo feel free to adjust the spices to your tastes.All of the whole spices below can be replaced with ground spices from your grocery market, also you can grind your own pork shoulder or pork butt if you have your own grinder....which is what I do.

Beef & Chorizo Chili Beef & Chorizo Chili
1st chili batch of the year and decided to do something a little different than our norm. Used up another pound of the awesome homemade chorizo I had in the freezer and went with 1/4 cup of my own homemade chili seasoning (see my "chilly chili seasoning" recipe). The result was a delightfully spicy chili anyone could appreciate.

Homemade Longanisa Homemade Longanisa
My boy is a typical "arab" when it comes to food, but this longanisa I prepared for him, he cannot say "no" 😊..I saw this pinoy food vlogger and I just add a little bit ingredient. Next time I will add 7-up or sprite, instead of water, or oyster sauce. I'll make an update afterward.The ground chicken, I chose the packed one with something lining on it, I think it is absorbing the excess water from the chicken (my own thinking only)
