Ingredients
- 1 pound chorizo sausage
- 1 small white onion
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 lime
- 0.5 cup cotija cheese
- 1 avocado
- 1 roma tomato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by prepping your ingredients. Mince the onion, chop the cilantro, dice the tomato, and slice the avocado into thin slices. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 3
Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and crumble it into the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chorizo is browned and fully cooked.
Step 4
Add the minced onion to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Step 5
While the chorizo mixture is cooking, warm the corn tortillas. You can either heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds until soft.
Step 6
Assemble the tacos: Place a small portion of the cooked chorizo mixture onto each warm tortilla. Top with diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese.
Step 7
Finish each taco with a generous handful of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8
Serve the tacos immediately while warm. Enjoy!
