Love the digital download idea! Love you and your recipes!
Mmmm gracious
I like the al a carte idea! Looking forward to it.💜
Yummy.. it looks good..
Im so glad you have a chorizo recipe. I love chorizo and used to buy those cheap tubes of chorizo until i read the ingredients and was disgusted by the type of meat that was used.
Your chorizo looks really good, and over the years of cheating out on the store versions that ended up a nasty pile of grease that so I thought chorizo was nasty and I hated even tasting it, when a friend actually brought me a good chorizo (Yours looked just like that) I really like and look forward eating it when I can. Also I actually love the E-book idea.
That is such a good idea Angelica! Very unique idea, love it! 💕 however I do want to say it is very helpful that you always include the ingredient list in the description, it can be a hassle having to click links when you’re working in the kitchen lol
Looks delicious. I will be checking it out. A wonderful idea. Have a wonderful weekend ❌️ ⭕️
I, too, am very happy I found your channel as well. I ordered your cookbook and I am very excited to cook like you. Please continue to share your wonderful recipes. 😊😊😊
Thank you!
Love the build your own cookbook idea. Angelica, you are such a kind lady. Yes, this would help a lot of people and you (win/win). It’s incredibly challenging for a lot of us. I’ve had to learn to cook simple meals and couldn’t have done this without your help. Nutritious and tasty, using basics that are easily available. It’s the Mexican recipes that are my favorite. Still want to buy the first cook book. You are such a treasure, thank you 🙏 ❤
Thats an awesome idea!!!!! Im all for it ❤ Thank you!!!
I can't find a quality chorizo anywhere. The store chorizo is made with lymph nodes and salivary glands, yuck. I'm definitely going to get quality pork or beef and try this! Thanks for sharing!
Your cooking is similar to the way my mom cooked and the way I have cooked for my family most of my adult life. Thank you for the inspiration you are to young and older cooks. I love how you fixed your hair today, it’s very flattering ❤
Do you have a pork chorizo recipe?
Any plans to do a soyrizo version? I'm not vegetarian but soyrizo is 🔥
Anyone going call the fact we using beef in place of pork??
All of her recipes I have made are so good. I love her tortillas and sandwich bread. Much much cheaper than nasty chemical bread
Love your channel! Great idea for the recipes. Thank you for sharing! 🌸🦋🌸
Is there a way, in the e-recipes to add multiple into the cart instead of only charging one at a time?
So glad you shared a homemade chorizo recipe. My husband grew up in California and he craves chorizo. I'm going to make it and surprise him😊
Must try this! I’ve never thought about making my own before.
Would you do anything different to make pork chorizo?
Awesome video
Thank you 🙏🏻 🫶
Only guajillos? I make mine with a mix of guajillos, anchos, and pasillas. Maybe a couple of chiles de arbol for a little zing too.
Looks delicious, I have been looking for a good chorizo recipe. Going to try this later today. Not trying to criticize, but i have found that adding spices when you puree blends them in really well. Makes the mixing easier. Thank you for the video.
Beef chorizo? Thought chorizo was mainly pork? I have never tried beef chorizo I have to try this 😊 thank you for sharing your recipe ❤❤❤😊
So I went and looked at the store recipes…………..are you meaning to sell them for $1 each? I understand the look is different and we'll have a picture but why not do kindle then?
I think this is great for you! Instant DLs!
I love HEB tortillas too! The butter ones!
Could you make the burrito the night before then warm up in the morning?? 💜✌🏻 love your recipes
You're The Best!!!!
What happened to the ingredient list,that would be very helpful to duplicate the recipe.
I didn't know about the fridge and freezer marinate, doing it now…
I thought chorizo was made with pork?🤔
Thank you for sharing your great recipes. My question is how long does this chorizo last in the freezer? 💕💕💕💕
Nice 👍🏽 Texas Tough style! 💪🏽
may I ask a question I have a lot of dried ancho's and some dried Pasilla's which would substitute best for the guajillo's? Thanks in advance for your input.
Literally one of the best cooking shows! Thank you Mam’a for sharing your wonderful recipes!
Love the “cookbook” idea. You are a wonderful, thoughtful and kind person. Thank you for everything you do.
Please chane the order page to an Add To Cart so we can do more than one in eah order, TY!
Thanks for another great recipe💜 I'll share with my dad as he buys his from HEB. And I thought by folding the top of the baggie down you could fill it easier 😊
Ok ok I'm taking the hint.😉😄 I have had chorizo on my mind for a bit (namely breakfast tacos just like you made here!). I bought a cast iron comal Saturday to up my tortilla game. Saw chorizo breakfast pizza at Aldi yesterday and now your video pops up today.
I am SO trying to make my own and (hopefully) really dazzle my homesick Texan.
Thank you for all your recipes!!! My husband frequently requests enchiladas with your chili gravy. 😊
I was wondering if I can use leaner beef or do I need to have that bit of fat in there for the recipe to work out right?
How can you do this with dry chili?
