Ingredients:
- 1 lb Mexican chorizo, casings removed
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 8-10 small corn tortillas
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Optional: Salsa, sliced radishes, avocado, or crumbled queso fresco for serving
Instructions:
- Cook the Chorizo: In a large skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully cooked and browned, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from heat and drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the chorizo is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or on a griddle over medium heat until they are soft and pliable, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.
- Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the cooked chorizo onto each tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of chopped onions and fresh cilantro.
- Serve: Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Add any additional toppings like salsa, sliced radishes, avocado, or crumbled queso fresco if desired. Enjoy your easy and delicious chorizo street tacos!
