- 1 ½ tablespoons salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons cumin

- 2 to 3 tablespoons white vinegar
Instructions

- Add white vinegar to moisten as needed.
- Place mixture in your refrigerator for a day or two to marinade in a well-covered glass container. This step will enhance the flavor.
- Use in your favorite recipe calling for Mexican chorizo, or refrigerate or freeze the sausage in an airtight container for later use.
