Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by finely chopping the garlic cloves, red bell pepper, and yellow onion. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the Cilantro

    Rinse the cilantro under cold water, then chop it roughly and set aside.

  3. 3

    Slice the Lime

    Cut the lime in half for juicing later.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chorizo sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

    Add the chopped garlic, red bell pepper, and onion to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 6

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Dish

    Remove the skillet from heat. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture and add the chopped cilantro. Mix well. If using, serve with sliced avocado and warm tortillas.
