Turn the heat up to medium/high, wait a few minutes for pan to heat up, and then add brown rice. Cook onion rice mixture stirring frequently, for about 4 minutes, or until onions are softened and rice is even more browned, then add chopped chorizo sausage. Sauté for a few more minutes.2.Add salsa, stir in, and then add chicken stock, a little oregano, cumin, and salt/pepper to taste. Bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low and cover.
