Chorizo Chili is a new take on a classic

Chorizo Chili Recipe

Here’s our take on a comfort food classic. Our basque chorizo adds a ton of flavor, and this cooks a bit quicker than most chilis as the sausage is already tender.

Perfect for warming up a cold day, we like to pair it with some crusty sourdough bread and plenty of shredded Manchego on top ;)
