Some people always have bacon on hand for breakfast or other dishes but chorizo is something that is always present in my fridge. Chorizo is like the Italian sausage of Mexicans.

Growing up I noticed my mom was very resourceful when it came to planning meals for us. One thing she made often was carne con chile, or meat with chile sauce, like this pork chile verde. This was the logical thing to do with any left over salsa, veggies on hand, and meat found in the freezer. Making a salsa is so easy and economical and cooking any kind of meat in salsa makes for the perfect meal. Add a side of rice, calabacitas, or zucchini, and eat with tortillas.
