Method

Prepare the Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Meats

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and chorizo sausage. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Once the meat is browned, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices coat the meat evenly.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Beans and Corn

    Add the black beans and corn to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the taco filling into the center. Fold the tortilla in half to encase the filling.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top the filled tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.
