Personal Notes:
This recipe is from my grandmother Adeline. She was a great cook! For the ground pork I get a boneless pork shoulder and have the butcher grind it for me. Use Santa Cruz dry red chile found in Mexican section. We use this with scrambled eggs and rolled into a tortilla. Another great way to use chorizo is to stir into deviled eggs (this recipe is in cookbook).
