Ingredients
- 1 pound Mexican chorizo casings removed
- 16 small corn tortillas street taco size
- 1 small white onion finely diced
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, for about 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked and slightly crispy.
- While the chorizo is cooking, warm the tortillas. Wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds, or heat them individually in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side.
- To assemble, place a spoonful of cooked chorizo on each warm tortilla and top with a sprinkle of diced onion.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If the chorizo is very fatty, you may want to drain some of the excess fat after cooking.
- Red onion can be used for a slightly milder, sweeter flavor.
- Refrigerate the leftover cooked chorizo in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
