Cook, breaking up chorizo into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Add hot peppers, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.

Finish chorizo

Add Tex-Mex paste and Southwest Spice Blend to the pan with chorizo and veggies. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.Add 1/2 cup (2/3 cup) water. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
