• 1 large avocado
• 12 count cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.25 cup cilantro
• 1 large lime
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion and cilantro.

Step 2

Juice the lime into a small bowl and set aside for later.

Step 3

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

While the chorizo is cooking, arrange the romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter. These will serve as your low-carb taco shells.

Top the chorizo in each lettuce leaf with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion.

Step 9

Sprinkle each taco with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of lime juice.

Step 10

Serve with sour cream on the side or add a dollop directly onto each taco for extra richness.

Step 11

Enjoy your low carb chorizo tacos fresh while the flavors are vibrant and delicious.
