Here is a chorizo recipe

Mexican Chorizo
Ingredients

2 lb Pork tenderloin, ground
5   Chiles anchos
1/2 tsp Coriander seeds, roasted
1/2 tsp Peppercorns
1/8 tsp Cumin seeds
2 Tbsp Sweet paprika
2/3 cup Mild white vinegar
1/2 lb Pork fat
2   Chiles pasilla
3   Cloves
1/2 tsp Oregano (Mexican)
4 cloves Garlic, crushed
2-1/2 tsp Salt

Directions
Chop the meat roughly, (or use coarse ground pork), together with the fat.

Toast the chiles well, turning them from time to time so they don't burn.  (you can find them already toasted)
While they are still warm and flexible, slit the chiles open and remove the seeds
and veins. They will become crisp as they cool.

Grind the spices together with the chiles. Mix the ground spices and chiles with the rest of the ingredients and rub them well into the meat with your hands.

Cover the chorizo mixture and put in the refrigerator to blend for 3
days, stirring well each day. You can stuff the chorizo into sausage casings, or use it straight from the bowl.

If you don't want to stuff the meat into casings, leave it to cure for about a week. Store in air-tight container in the freezer.
