Wash the beef tripe thoroughly with cold water and cut it into 2-inch pieces.
In a large pot, add water and the beef tripe. Bring it to a boil and par-boil the tripe for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, and cumin, and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
Add the diced tomatoes, beef tripe, and the optional beef shank (if using) to the pot. Stir to combine.
Pour in the chicken stock and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer gently for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 90 minutes, add the sliced chorizo and cooked chickpeas to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cook uncovered for another 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly.
Remove and discard the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the Callos hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Pair it with crusty bread or steamed white rice for a complete meal.
