Mary what is Chorizo ?

Boudica · 08-30-2007, 06:13 AM

It is a spicy Mexican sausage made of pork and beef. It is very unique tasting.

Rubyred025 · 08-30-2007, 06:43 AM

I dont' think they sell that in my stores. Can you substitue it with something else?

Dunno what your local store would be... but you could always ask someone in the meat dept about chorizo. In my local Wal-Mart they are located where the italian sausage links and Johnsonville brats are located.

And yes, you can substitute it with pretty much any kind of sausage. It is just a unique tasting sausage really.
