Ingredients
For the filling:
- 12 ounces chorizo sausage
- ½ cup onion chopped
- 1 pound squash cut into small cubes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 cups kale stems removed
- ½ lime juiced
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
For serving:
- 8 corn tortillas store-bought or homemade, warmed
- ¼ cup goat cheese crumbled

Instructions
Cook the chorizo:
- Remove the chorizo from its casings and cook in a large skillet over medium heat for about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chorizo to a plate; leave the drippings in the pan.
Cup of Yum
Cook squash and aromatics:
- Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for about 3 minutes, until golden and soft. Add the squash, garlic powder, and cumin and continue to cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the squash is soft.
Combine:
- Add the kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked chorizo back into the pan and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat, and the lime juice, and season with salt and pepper.
Assemble:
- To assemble the tacos, place a layer of chorizo and squash mixture on each tortilla, top with some crumbled goat cheese, and sprinkle with cilantro.
