Preparation

Preparing the Chimichurri Sauce

Combine Ingredients

Combine chopped parsley, minced garlic, and red wine vinegar in a bowl.

Add Olive Oil

Slowly whisk in olive oil until well combined.

Season Sauce

Stir in oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

Let the chimichurri sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes for better flavor.

Preparing the Chorizo

Preheat Grill

Preheat grill to medium heat.

Score Sausages

Score sausages lightly to prevent bursting.

Grill Sausages

Grill sausages until fully cooked, about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally.

Do not overcook the sausages, as they can dry out.

Cooking Process

Grilling the Sausages

Grill the chorizo over medium heat, turning every few minutes for even cooking.

Toasting the Bread

Slice the rolls and lightly toast them on the grill over low heat.

Assembling the Choripán

Place grilled chorizo inside the toasted roll and top generously with chimichurri sauce.
