Notes

Feel free to substitute pork filet mignon with pork tenderloin or chicken breast as needed.
If you don't have old-style mustard, Dijon mustard is a great alternative.
This dish is delicious served over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, perfect for soaking up the flavorful sauce.
It refrigerates well for up to 3 days, and the flavors deepen when stored overnight.
Reheat gently, adding a splash of water or milk if the sauce thickens too much.
Adjust the spice level by choosing a milder or spicier chorizo based on your preference.
