Fifty-Fifty Chorizo
Makes 10-12 tacos
What you’ll need:
2 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp ground cumin
2 Tsp garlic powder
3 Tsp Ancho chili powder
1 ¾ Tsp ground black pepper
3 lbs ground pork or turkey
3 lbs Spare Starter
What to do:
Combine all the spices in a small bowl and mix well.
Add the ground pork and the spice blend to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium-low speed for 1 minute.
Slowly add the Spare Starter and mix on medium-low speed for 2 minutes, until the chorizo mixture is blended and has a slightly tacky consistency. Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours before using.
Sauté the chorizo in a cast iron pan set over high heat, crumbling the mixture with a spatula as it cooks.
