September 22nd is just around the corner, which means it’s almost the first day of fall! And when the leaves start to turn, and the air gets crisp, there are certain flavors that are a signature of the season. Flavors like warm pumpkin spice, fresh apples, cozy cinnamon, tart cranberries, and the comforting aroma of nutmeg. That just sounds like autumn.

While pumpkin spice gets plenty of love, we think there’s another flavor that could be the star of yours, and our, fall recipes: chorizo. This spicy, savory sausage adds a delicious kick to any dish. And here at Wings and Rings, we're embracing the season with our new chorizo-infused menu items including our must-try Chorizo Loaded Nachos and Chorizo Loaded Fries.

What is Chorizo?

Never had chorizo before? You’re in for something delicious. Chorizo is a type of pork sausage that originates from Spain and Portugal that’s typically seasoned with a variety of spices, including smoked paprika, which gives it a distinctive deep red color and bold flavor. Whether you really like the heat or prefer to keep it mild, you can enjoy chorizo in both sweet and spicy varieties as that something extra to any fall recipe.

Chips or Fries, You Pick with Chorizo Loaded Nachos and Chorizo Loaded Fries on the Menu

Made with cozy spices and with plenty of kick, chorizo's versatility makes it a fantastic add-on to fall recipes. And at Wings and Rings, you can enjoy our all-new chorizo dish ideas in two ways: atop our fan-favorite nachos or our loaded fries on our menu.

Score Our Chorizo Loaded Nachos

Our chorizo loaded nachos is a new limited-time starter that's perfect for sharing and totally ready for fall.
