Method

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the sliced chorizo, cooking until it releases its oils, about 3–4 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chorizo releases its red oils. Let the slices render before adding vegetables.

  2. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic; sauté until the vegetables soften, roughly 5 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The vegetables soften and smell fragrant. Stir so the garlic does not catch.

  3. Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  4. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  7. Remove from heat and let the stew rest for 2 minutes.

  8. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh cilantro leaves or a squeeze of lime for extra brightness.
