What is Chorizo?

There are two types of chorizo sausage: Spanish chorizo and Mexican chorizo. The differences between Spanish chorizo and Mexican chorizo are important, as the former can be served as-is while the latter comes raw and must be cooked. Spanish chorizo is coarsely chopped sausage typically flavored with spices like paprika and garlic, while Mexican Chorizo tends to be ground sausage seasoned with red pepper and vinegar. Spice levels range from mild to hot, with a characteristically smoky taste.
