Mexican chorizo is a fresh, raw sausage made with pork, chili peppers, spices, and vinegar, giving it a bold, zesty flavor that must be cooked before enjoying. Unlike Spanish chorizo, which is cured like salami, Mexican chorizo is uncured and perfect for tacos, eggs, tortas, soups, and skillet dishes. Classic pork chorizo delivers rich, authentic taste, while beef chorizo is leaner, with a firmer texture and tangy vinegar notes. For a lighter option, soy chorizo provides the same smoky, spicy kick with far less fat and calories—bringing authentic Mexican flavor to every meal.
