How Long to Cook Chorizo
How long to cook chorizo in a pan on the stove or in the oven. This seasoned pork takes only a few minutes for Mexican or Spanish chorizo.
Servings: 6
Equipment
- 1 pan
Ingredients
- 2 links chorizo Mexican style used
- 1 tsp oil
Instructions
- If your chorizo has a casing, slice and remove it and discard. Heat oil in pan. Place the meat in a large skillet over medium high heat when hot. With a spatula, break it up into small chunks as it cooks. Be sure to stir frequently so that meat does not burn.
- Mexican chorizo - Continue to cook for 8-10 minutes (depending on how large your chunks are) or until it has more of a brown color and is crumbly (similar to ground beef, but smaller crumbles). It should no longer be wet or sticky.
- Spanish chorizo is already fully cooked when purchased, so it only needs to be heated through. A few minutes of heating in a pan or incorporating it into a recipe is sufficient.
