Chorizo Burrito recipe?

Recipe? For a burrito!? I'm guessing you really mean to ask what do
other people like with chorizo, and I'm assuming you mean Mexican
style chorizo, not Spanish.

My preference is to mix a little ground beef with chorizo--tames down
the harshness some chorizo has--and to drain the fat well. Then, I
think potatoes (leftover boiled, diced) go well with chorizo, and I
like strips of a mild green chile in the burrito. As for a cheese,
cotija or asadero might work well. That's really all that's needed;
tomatoes need not apply. -aem

so could that be put in recipe form? I'm not even sure what chorizo is.

A burrito is what you want - just add what you like and roll it up. I
always use Mexican rice, a touch of beans spread out on the tortilla, plenty
of cheese like cotija for zest plus some store bought Monterrey jack and
cheddar. For meat I use whatever, shredded beef, chicken, chorizo. A great
breakfast burrito is chorizo and scrambled eggs with cheese. Thinly sliced
poblano peppers are great, too. I get them in cans.

Chorizo is made mostly of salivary glands, assorted pork pieces, paprika,
garlic and vinegar.

Just like sausage, chorizo varies from maker to maker. I believe
Johnsonville is making a chorizo, but it's not too flavorful or spicy. I'd
pass on it if I were you. I like chorizo and refried beans as well and a
nice white cheese with leetle chile bits in it.

salivary glands???????????

Yep, tongue too. Mexican chorizo is typically what they make of what is
left of the pig after they've taken everything else. And so what? It's all
food and it all is edible. You eat liver, intestines, kidneys, heart etc.
Why not lymph and salivary glands? Heck in Thailand they eat pickled uterus
and even the pancreas is considered a delicacy. You can buy chorizo in
stores that are labeled as made from choice cuts only, so if it offends you,
look for that type. The genuine article though is made from scraps.

Food prejudice is silly. Did you know that as recently as the Great
Depression, lobster was considered food fit only for the poor? It was
formerly fed to slaves in the South because it was considered unfit for any
other purpose.

Chorizo for sale in the US falls under the same regulations as all
other meats. You can rest assured you are not eating pork anus.

LOL....eyes, ears, nose...etc. are on the OTHER end.

In addition to chorizo, or chorizo fried together with ground
beef, good ingredients are sour cream, onions, a small proportion of
refried beans and rice, and a little chopped lettuce.

You really can't go wrong, if it's decent chorizo and a fresh
hot flour tortilla.

Sausage. Taco Time is currently selling chicken chorizo sausage foods. I
would assume you would use it just like you would use ground beef. You may
have to chop it up. Not sure if it comes ground or in a casing.

There's no law that says you can't sell pork anus or any other part of an
animal. What do you think chitlins are made of? As long as it's labeled,
it's OK. And the chorizo I buy in the store clearly has lymph and salivary
glands in the ingredients list.

I have no problem with salivary glands and whatnot, having eaten
tamales sold from zinc pails in Central American villages and octopus
eyballs from Singaporean street stands. There are, however, controls
in the US as to what can and cannot be sold for human consumption.

What's in your bologna?

By law they have to define what they mean by "meat by products." That's it.
I am aware of no banned parts of an animal.

I buy Hebrew National because I like the way it tastes. But even if I knew
it was not kosher, it would not bother me.

What bothers me are nitrites, dyes, preservatives and other non-organic
ingredients.

Don't forget lungs, stomachs and snout, too.

And lymph nodes. Don't forget the lymph nodes.
