Mexican Chorizo Rice is a flavorful-packed and spicy rice dish filled with fresh chorizo sausage, corn, and tomatoes. This pairs perfectly with tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and many more! For this recipe, I used Mexican kind fresh chorizo sausage with tons of seasonings, including paprika for best results.
I love Mexican dishes, and I always find excuses to throw a Mexican dinner at home. Chorizo rice has always been my big favourite. It’s a complete meal with flavorful meat, rice, and more! The Chipotle flavoured TABASCO sauce adds so much to this already amazing dish. The smoky with slightly kick flavour of the TABASCO is a game changer! Make sure to give this easy recipe a try very soon. I promise you’ll love every piece of this Mexican Chorizo Rice!
