Tips

• Remove the chorizo from the grill when it is about 15°F below its desired internal temperature as it will continue to cook after removal.
• Use butter instead of olive oil for added richness.
• If you like extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
• Let the chorizo rest for a couple of minutes before slicing to retain juices.
