Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pan and add the white onion and jalapeno pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, until they start to soften.
- Add the chorizo and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 10 minutes, until it cooks through. If you prefer crispy chorizo, continue to cook another 4-5 minutes, until the edges crisp up. Remove from heat.
- Serve the spicy chorizo mixture over warmed tortillas and top with your favorite toppings.
