Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Chorizo sausage (1 pound, casing removed)
- Corn tortillas (8 small)
- Onion (1 medium, diced)
- Bell pepper (1 medium, diced (red or green))
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Avocado (1, sliced)
- Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
- Lime (1, juiced)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Salsa (1 cup (store-bought or homemade))
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo sausage until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Once cooked, remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan for added flavor.
- In the same skillet, add diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- In a separate skillet or on a hot griddle, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of the chorizo mixture onto each tortilla.
- Top with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.
- Add a spoonful of salsa on top for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the fiesta of flavors!
