Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan, add freekeh. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook 6 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add chorizo; cook 5 minutes or until finely crumbled and browned, stirring occasionally. Drain and set aside.
Add corn to skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
