Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
Step 2
Mix thoroughly until all the spices are evenly incorporated into the pork.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and let the mixture marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned pork mixture.
Step 5
Cook the pork, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully cooked through and browned, about 10 minutes.

While the pork is cooking, prepare the taco toppings. Dice the avocado, rinse and chop the cilantro, and set aside the lime wedges.
Step 7
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until soft.
Step 8
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the chorizo onto each tortilla.
Step 9
Top with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, and diced onion.
Step 10
Serve each taco with a lime wedge on the side for squeezing over the top to enhance the flavors.
