Serves 4

Ingredients

Garlic
2 cloves, minced

to taste
Taco Shells
8
Avocado
1, sliced
Cilantro

Instructions

  1. Place the chorizo in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until it's browned and crispy. This should take approximately 10 minutes.

  4. Preheat your oven or stovetop and warm the taco shells according to the package instructions.
  5. Once the taco shells are warmed, fill each one with the chorizo mixture.

  7. Serve the tacos immediately, with lime wedges on the side for guests to squeeze over their tacos to taste.

Tips

  • 💡 For a bit of heat, consider adding some finely chopped jalapenos to the chorizo mixture.
  • 💡 You can also add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheese for additional flavor and texture.
