Southwest Chorizo Blend - Birthday Spice

This chile-based blend is designed for homemade Mexican-style chorizo. Ground chiles form the base, giving the sausage its red color and medium heat. Garlic, cumin seeds, and Mexican oregano add earthy and herbal depth, while a small amount of sugar balances the spice. Mix it with ground pork and vinegar to create fresh chorizo for tacos, breakfast plates, or rice dishes.
