Steps:
- For the chorizo pork sausage: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the pork, vinegars, paprika, garlic powder, guajillo powder, pepper, salt, cumin and cilantro in a large bowl. Mix well using hands or a wooden spoon.
- Spread mixture over a baking pan and roast until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- For the rajitas: Saute onions and minced garlic with vegetable oil in a skillet on medium-high heat until onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add cilantro, salt and thyme and continue to cook 2 minutes.
- For the escabeche: Combine vinegar, salt, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Place chile rings in a mixing bowl (remove seeds if desired to lessen heat). Pour boiling liquid over chiles and refrigerate until chilled, up to overnight.
