Chorizo Street Tacos

Ingredients

Tacos

  • 1 lb raw Mexican chorizo, casings removed
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1/4 medium white onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Lime Crema

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Directions

  1. Stir all the lime crema ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and crisped at the edges. Leave it alone for a stretch between stirs so it can caramelize instead of steaming.
  3. While the chorizo cooks, warm the tortillas in a second dry skillet or directly over a gas flame, about 30 seconds per side, until soft with a few toasty brown spots.
  4. Stack the warm tortillas in a towel or tortilla warmer so they stay pliable.
  5. Fill each tortilla with chorizo and top with diced onion, cilantro, and a drizzle of lime crema. Serve with lime wedges.
