Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 200 g chorizo sausage, diced
  • 2 pieces ripe avocados, halved and pitted
  • 1 lime lime, juiced
  • 8 pieces small corn or flour tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sliced radishes, diced tomatoes, or hot sauce

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the diced chorizo in your pan over medium heat.
  2. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until the chorizo is crispy and browned.
  3. Remove it from the heat and set it aside.
  4. While the chorizo cooks, cut the avocados in half and remove the pits.
  5. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl.
  6. Mash the avocado to your desired creaminess.
  7. Add lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste, and mix well.
  8. In the same pan, lightly toast the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side.
Assembly
  1. Spread a generous spoonful of mashed avocado on each tortilla.
  2. Add some of the crispy chorizo on top of the avocado.
  3. Top with chopped cilantro and any other desired toppings.
Serving
  1. Place the tacos on a serving platter and serve immediately.

Notes

These tacos are best served right away. Pair with a cold drink for a perfect meal. For storage, keep cooked chorizo in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Leftover mashed avocado can be stored with a bit of lime juice to slow down browning.
