Ingredients
- 1/4 medium onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/3 cup chorizo seasoning, more if needed
- 12 corn tortillas, warmed
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup water, if needed
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and minced onions. Cook for about 3 minutes until onions begin to soften and become translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the ground pork and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is completely cooked.
- Add the chorizo seasoning and stir to incorporate it into the meat. Continue to cook the flavor into the meat for about 3 minutes. Taste and add more seasoning if needed.
- Add water if the meat dries out too much as it cooks. I like my chorizo on the wetter side, so add water to your preference.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a separate hot skillet or over the open flame on a gas stove for about 30 seconds per each side until warmed through with some toasty brown spots.
- Fill the corn tortillas with the cooked chorizo and add desired toppings.
- Garnish and enjoy with chopped cilantro, chopped onions, or any taco toppings you desire!
