I spent about $12.56 for the entire recipe. I divide the 1 pound of chorizo meat into 4. I then use it to spice up different recipes. It can be stretched out even more depending on how you use it.
Use this delicious chorizo with your scrambled eggs, potato hash, enchiladas, enfrijoladas, stuffed potatoes, or anything else that you can come up with.
Take the seeds and veins out of the 8 peppers. Place them in a pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil until the peppers are soft.
While the peppers are cooking, grind all of the spices with a mortar. Start with the harder ones like sea salt, peppercorns, and cloves. Then add the oregano and grind. After, integrate the cumin, paprika, and apple cider vinegar and mix until all are combined.
Blend everything together until you get a smooth, thick paste. You might have to add a little water (about 1/4 cup) but don't add too much.
Place the ground meat in a bowl, add the thick paste, and mix with a wooden spoon until all is integrated and combined well. (NOTE 1)
Store your chorizo in plastic bags, glass containers, or cling wrap. (NOTE 2)
