These meatballs are made with a Mexican chorizo ​​sausage blend (not to be confused with the Spanish dry-cured sausage!). Luckily, you don't have to search through supermarkets for delicious and flavorful chorizo. Guy Fieri has crafted a perfectly proportioned spice blend to give ground pork that special flavor. It includes garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and the specialty of chorizo—smoked paprika, which imparts a unique aroma and a delicious red hue. Bake these chorizo ​​meatballs in the oven and serve with side dishes, like pasta, or simply as a beer snack.
