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!

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.
