Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use fresh chorizo for best results. If fresh chorizo is not available, you can use cooked Spanish sausage as a substitute.
• Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference. If you want more spice, add a bit more ground cumin or chili flakes.
• Make sure to cook the rice until it is tender but not overcooked, as overcooked rice may become sticky and lose its texture.
