Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, black pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the pork.

While the pork is cooking, prepare the taco toppings. Slice the avocado and the tomato, and set aside.

Step 5

Rinse and dry the lettuce leaves to use as taco shells.

Step 6

Once the chorizo is ready, assemble the tacos by placing a portion of chorizo onto each lettuce leaf. Top with slices of avocado and tomato.

Step 7

Garnish each taco with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice just before serving.
