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.
