Recipe View Remove the lid and continue to simmer until the mixture reaches your desired consistency, approximately 20 minutes more, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove bay leaves before serving. Adjust seasoning with salt and vinegar to taste. Serve hot over cooked rice, garnished with green onions, cilantro, lime wedges, and sour cream.

For a vegetarian option, omit the chorizo and add a diced sweet potato along with the carrots and celery.
To deepen the smoky flavor, consider using fire-roasted diced tomatoes in place of the picante sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
