Ingredients
- Lime
- 1, cut into wedges
- Cilantro
- a handful, finely chopped
- Avocado
- 1, sliced
- Tortillas
- 8
- Salt and pepper
- to taste
- Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Cumin
- 1 teaspoon
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Onion
- 1, diced
- Frozen peas
- 2 cups
- Chorizo
- 500 grams, diced
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced chorizo. Cook until it turns brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set it aside, keeping the rendered fat in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, typically taking about 5 minutes.
- Add the frozen peas to the skillet along with the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the peas are heated through.
- Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet and stir to combine it with the pea mixture. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- While the mixture is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or in the oven.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon the pea and chorizo mixture onto each tortilla. Top it with sliced avocado and the chopped cilantro.
- Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Tips
- For a vegetarian alternative, replace chorizo with a plant-based substitute.
- You can add some shredded cheese or sour cream for extra creaminess.
- If you prefer a bit more heat, add some sliced jalapenos.
