These days, I don't have a lot of time on my hands, so I seek out recipes that are simple while still being gourmet. That's why I love this no-muss, no-fuss, Latin twist on the classic American hot dog. A grilled bun is topped with chorizo and finished with a salsa fresca. You can use either Spanish or Mexican chorizo, but if you like a smoky flavor, try the Spanish, which is made with smoked pork. To get grilling with the recipe, read more.
