Chorizo Caseless Sausage
Amp up the bite in this Mexican-inspired dish with an easy chorizo caseless sausage.
While there are many steps to amping up each bite in this Mexican-inspired dish, Christopher points out that home cooks can build in shortcuts, such as using store-bought mayo. But some steps, such as the caseless chorizo, are so simple they’re worth it.
The result? In addition to looking every bit the bright, optimistic spring offering, we found it a juicy, tangy, smoky winner. And a perfect nod to new beginnings.
