Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chorizo sausage
  • 8 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
  • 2 medium Avocado
  • 1 medium Lime
  • 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
  • 0.5 cup Sour cream
  • 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Remove the casing from the chorizo and break the meat into the skillet.

Step 3

Cook the chorizo for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's cooked through and slightly crispy.

Step 4

While the chorizo is cooking, prepare the toppings: halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the avocado, chop the cilantro, and cut the lime into wedges.

Step 5

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly, then set them aside as your taco 'shells'.

Step 6

Once the chorizo is cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.

Step 7

Assemble the keto tacos by filling each romaine leaf with a portion of chorizo, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Season each taco with a bit of salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for drizzling.
