Homemade Mexican Chorizo

By Beefman-2

I love choizo, but who knows what is in the commercially prepared kind? This homemade Mexican chorizo is delicious with scrambled eggs served in a flour tortilla. I usually prepare this chorizo with ground turkey.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground lean pork, ground turkey can be substituted
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon table salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
