Start by gathering the spices into a large bowl. Use a whisk to ensure they blend well. The colors should come together to form a beautiful mix of reds and browns.

Next, take your ground pork and add it to the bowl of spices. Use your hands to mix it all together. Get in there and make sure the meat is well coated. This step is crucial for the flavor.

Pour in the red wine vinegar, liquid smoke, and dark brown sugar. These will help meld the spices into the meat. Mix once again with your hands, avoiding overworking the pork, which could make it tough.

At this point, sprinkle in the sea salt and black pepper. If you're feeling adventurous, taste a small amount to see if it needs any adjustments. Remember, you can always add more seasoning, but you can’t take it away!

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chorizo mixture. Stir occasionally, breaking it up as it cooks. This step usually takes about 10–15 minutes, or until it's cooked through.

Once the chorizo is perfectly cooked, use it immediately in your chosen dish. Whether it's tacos, burritos, or a hearty breakfast skillet, you won’t be disappointed.
