Treat your ingredients with care...

• Chorizo sausage — Ensure the sausages are fully cooked by grilling them until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
• Chimichurri sauce — For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of red chili flakes. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.

Tips & Tricks

• If you prefer a softer bread roll, lightly toast it before adding the grilled sausage.
• Experiment with different types of sausages, such as spicy or smoked, to add variety to your Choripán.
• For an extra kick of flavor, marinate the sausages in the chimichurri sauce for 30 minutes before grilling.
• Customize your Choripán by adding toppings like grilled onions, sliced tomatoes, or avocado.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the sausages on a stovetop grill pan or in the oven.

Serving advice

Serve the Choripán immediately while the sausages are still hot and juicy. Accompany it with extra chimichurri sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling over the sandwich.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, you can garnish the Choripán with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a few chili flakes. Serve it on a wooden board or a rustic plate to capture the authentic street food vibe.
