First things first, this recipe is idiot-proof. Seriously, if I can manage it without causing a kitchen disaster, anyone can. You don’t need to channel your inner Julia Child for this one.

Ingredients You’ll Need
Okay, time to gather your supplies. No need to scour specialty stores or climb mountains for these ingredients. Here’s what you need:
- 200 g de chorizo (the star of the show)
- 200 g de crema de leche (creamier than your Netflix binge)
- 1 cebolla pequeña, picada (because we’re fancy)
- 2 dientes de ajo, picados (never too much garlic, am I right)
- Aceite de oliva (everyone’s favorite liquid gold)
- Sal y pimienta al gusto (the seasoning superheroes)
- Pan para acompañar (for all the dipping)
Got everything? Cool! Let’s get cooking!
Step-by-Step Instructions
- En una sartén grande, calienta un poco de aceite de oliva. You don’t need a lot, just enough to keep things moving.
- Agrega la cebolla y el ajo y sofríe hasta que estén dorados. No dejar que se queme, porque nadie quiere una cena amargar.
- Añade el chorizo cortado en rodajas y cocina hasta que esté bien dorado. Watch out for that sizzling goodness. Your nose will thank you.
- Incorpora la crema de leche y mezcla bien. Ah, there’s the creaminess we signed up for.
- Cocina a fuego lento durante 5 minutos y ajusta la sal y pimienta al gusto. Taste test time. Don’t worry, we won’t tell if you grab a spoon.
- Sirve caliente con pan para mojar. This is the moment of truth. Dig in and enjoy!
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even though this dish is pretty darn easy, there are still ways to mess it up. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Skimping on the chorizo: If you’re using 200 g, make sure you really use 200 g. I mean, who are you kidding?
- Overcooking the garlic: You want it golden, not burnt. Trust me, burnt garlic is like that person who shows up to a party uninvited.
- Ignoring the seasoning: Taste it while you cook. It’s a crucial step. Don’t just operate by default—adjust if you need to.
- Using stale bread: I get it, we all have that bread lurking in the back of the pantry. Don’t do it. Grab some fresh bread and take this dish next level.
Alternatives & Substitutions
Life happens, right? It’s okay if you don’t have every ingredient on hand. Here are some simple swaps:
- Chorizo: If you can’t find chorizo, ground sausage or even bacon could work in a pinch.
- Crema de leche: You can substitute with heavy cream or even sour cream if you want a tangy twist.
- Pan para acompañar: Any bread will do, but if you want to get really fancy, go for a nice baguette or ciabatta.
- Vegetables: Throw in some bell peppers or mushrooms if you’re feeling adventurous and want to jazz it up a bit.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I use margarine instead of butter? Well, technically yes, but why hurt your soul like that? Butter is where the good stuff is.
Is it okay to use pre-cooked chorizo? Sure, just know that the flavor won’t be as deep, and you’ll lose some of that lovely crispy texture.
Can I make it ahead of time? You can, but the magic really happens when it’s fresh. Just sayin’.
What can I serve this with besides bread? Trust me when I say that it’s perfect with crackers or even over rice. You do you.
How spicy is this? It depends on the chorizo you pick. Some are mild, while others will have you sweating. Go with what feels right.
Can I make it vegetarian? Definitely! Swap the chorizo for mushrooms or even some smoky lentils for that heartiness.
Can kids eat this? Sure, but you might want to go with a milder chorizo. No need to set their taste buds on fire just yet.

Now go impress someone—or yourself—with your new culinary skills. You’ve earned it! Seriously, Chorizo Cremoso is going to be a regular in your meal rotation, and you’ll find yourself saying, “Did I just whip that up? I’m basically a chef now.” Enjoy every bite, and don’t forget to clean your plate (or in our case, the bread you used to mop it up). Happy cooking!
