Rice with Chorizo Recipe

Back before the holidays took over I was deep into sharing a full menu of authentic Mexican recipes from an old 1972 cookbook titled Mexican Cooking Made Easy. This Rice with Chorizo recipe came from the cookbook.

Some of the Mexican recipes I've been sharing start out with my Crock Pot Shredded Beef recipe. The Rice with Chorizo recipe is the perfect Mexican side dish to go along with those recipes.

It was perfect the day I had my Mexican food feast. I stuffed myself full of homemade Tamales, Chimichangas, refried black beans and this Rice with Chorizo recipe.
