- 1 1/10 lb ground pork
Chili Puree
- chiles, to taste

- a splash liquid
Instructions
- 1Gather all ingredients and equipment: a saucepan, blender, large skillet, and a wooden spoon.
- 2Prepare the chili puree as described in the component steps (boil, soften, blend).
- 3Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add a drizzle of oil if the pork is very lean.
- 4Add the ground pork to the hot skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and sauté for 2‑3 minutes to begin browning.
- 5Stir the prepared chili puree into the pork, mixing thoroughly to ensure an even coating.
- 6Season with additional salt, pepper, or extra spices to taste, remembering that the original puree was "to taste".
- 7Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 10‑12 minutes until the pork is fully cooked through and the mixture is fragrant and slightly thickened.
- 8Remove from heat, let the chorizo rest for 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld, then serve hot or let cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
