About Grilled chorizo
Grilled chorizo is a flavorful sausage originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisines, known for its bold, smoky taste and vibrant red hue from spices like paprika and chili. Typically made from ground pork or beef, it’s seasoned with a robust mix of garlic, vinegar, and aromatic spices that vary by region. While its high protein content makes it a satisfying source of energy, chorizo is also rich in fats and sodium, so moderation is key. Grilling enhances its smoky profile, rendering some fat while imparting a charred, caramelized exterior. Enjoyed in a variety of dishes or on its own, chorizo pairs well with fresh vegetables or whole grains for a balanced meal.
