Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 9 oz chorizo sausage
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 1 med zucchini
  • 1/2 med yellow pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Tajin
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups crushed tomatoes

Instructions

  • Heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat in a non-stick skillet until the butter is melted.
