Instructions
1-Jumping into cooking chorizo tacos is easier than you might think, and following these steps will have you serving up a winner in no time. First, gather all your ingredients and get everything prepped, like mincing the onion and jalapeno, to make the process smooth and fun.
2-Next, preheat a large skillet over medium heat until it’s just smoking, then add the ground pork chorizo. Break it into smaller pieces with a spatula and cook for 3 to 5 minutes before stirring in the minced onion and jalapeno.
3-Continue cooking for another 8 to 10 minutes until the pork is fully cooked, starting to brown, and the onion softens, creating that perfect mix of flavors. While that’s happening, in a separate bowl, combine the Mexican crema, lime juice, spice blend, salt, and cilantro, mix well, and pop it in the fridge to chill.
4-Now, warm the tortillas over an open flame, griddle, skillet, or grill until they’re warm, pliable, and slightly charred for that authentic touch. Finally, assemble the tacos by spooning the chorizo mixture onto the warmed tortillas and topping with minced onion, fresh cilantro, lime crema, diced sweet peppers, avocado slices, pickled red cabbage, and other favorites.
