Step 1
Mix flour and 0.5 tsp salt in a bowl. Add warm water and stir until shaggy.
Step 2
Knead on a clean surface 3 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
Step 3
Divide dough into 4 balls. Rest covered 5 minutes.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook chorizo, breaking up with a spoon, 4 minutes.
