For a spicier chorizo, increase the amount of chili powder or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Using high-quality chili powder and smoked paprika will significantly enhance the flavor profile of the chorizo. Ensure your ground pork has a good fat content (around 20-30%) for optimal flavor and texture. If you don't have Mexican oregano, regular oregano can be substituted, but the flavor will be slightly different.
