What to Do
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and saute 5 minutes or until golden.

Notes
This traditional ingredient in Mexican and Spanish dishes is a spicy pork sausage that's seasoned with garlic and chili powder. There are usually two types of chorizo sold in supermarkets: One is labeled "smoked and dried" and is hard like pepperoni. The other is slightly softer. With both types, be sure to remove the casings before browning.
