Combine chile powder, vinegar, oregano, water, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, cumin seeds, sugar, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until the salt and sugar are dissolved in the liquids.

In a large mixing bowl, place the ground pork and pour the spice mixture over it.

Using clean hands, thoroughly mix the spices into the meat until evenly distributed.

For best results, cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to develop.

When ready to use, cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat until thoroughly cooked and no pink remains, about 8-10 minutes.

Break up the meat with a wooden spoon while cooking to achieve a crumbly texture.
