Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo sausage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned and cooked through.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Season the Filling

    Stir in cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to blend with the filling.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or microwave, warm the corn tortillas until pliable, about 30 seconds in the microwave or 1 minute in the skillet.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tacos

    Place a generous spoonful of the chorizo filling onto each tortilla.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, a dollop of sour cream, slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
