Ingredients
- 8 ounces chorizo sausage, casing removed
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chorizo, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Cook until browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- While the chorizo is cooking, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by heating them one by one on a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 30 seconds. Keep them wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to retain warmth.
- Assemble the tacos by placing an equal amount of chorizo on each tortilla. Top with chopped onion, cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco.
- Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side. Let diners squeeze lime juice over their tacos before eating for an extra burst of flavor.
- Tip: If you prefer a less spicy chorizo, choose a mild variety. If you enjoy more heat, you can add diced jalapeños as a topping.
- Tip: For easier handling, use a toothpick to secure the tacos in shape if they have a tendency to unfold when filled.
