For the Chorizo Filling

Method

Preparing the Chorizo Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spatula until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables and Spices

    To the skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 3

    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. 4

    Fill the Tacos

    Place a generous spoonful of the chorizo filling in the center of each tortilla.

  3. 5

    Add Toppings

    Top the chorizo with chopped fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, a slice of avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
