Recipe Note
Wild Idea Buffalo Chorizo is made with our 100% grass-fed/grass-finished bison meat and authentic Mexican , organic seasonings. It has just the right amount of spice without being too hot. Our Ground Bison meat and additional seasonings could be substituted for the Bison Chorizo Sausage, and frozen corn could be substituted for the fresh. Enjoy!
