I have bought store brands or product from the hispanic market. Skillet don’t do the trick

Mexican chorizo sucks.
Spanish chorizo is much better.

I love the stuff, but what is sold in stores is generally filled with organs and trash meat. 99% of the time you take it out of the casing for a recipe, so I grind pork, or buy some preground and mix in my own spices and freeze it.

Never really shoot for crispy. I'd imagine draining the fat and continuing to cook it should work. Griddle should work too.

Where i shop there is chorizo in the breakfast section and the hot dog section. The ones in the breakfast section are a lot better IMO.

Like ground meat. I live in Nashville and they have a Mexican place that I get a certain dish when I go. Onions, bell peppers, spices and a choice or 2 proteins. Chicken, taco meat, pork, shrimp and chorizo. All over a bed of Mexican rice with a lite cheese sauce. The chorizo is crisp in this dish

I’ve never really seen any sort of “ground” meat be crispy. Unless I’m missing something.

But in your case, it’s got to be because of the grease.

Usually when you cook down ground beef, it cooks in its own grease then you drain the grease. You’ll have to do one of these:
1. Cook at an extremely high heat so you cook a lot of the geese off throughout the cooking process
2. Cook it down. Drain the fat. Add it back into a greaseless pan on high heat to get it crispy

It’s not going to get crispy if it’s just sitting in it’s grease

This is the way to do it.
