Servings: 4

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

  1. 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.
  2. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, typically taking about 5 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. While the mixture is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or in the oven.
  6. To assemble the tacos, spoon the pea and chorizo mixture onto each tortilla. Top it with sliced avocado and the chopped cilantro.
  7. Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
