A simple and flavorful recipe that lets L&S Artisan Meats Mexican Chorizo shine in a classic chorizo taco. This dish is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The savory and spicy chorizo pairs wonderfully with a fresh salsa and creamy avocado.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 1 lb L&S Artisan Meats Mexican Chorizo
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 small tomato, diced
• 1 small jalapeño, minced (optional for extra heat)
• 1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 1 avocado, sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Hot sauce (optional, for extra spice)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Chorizo:

   • In a large skillet, cook the Mexican chorizo over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Stir occasionally until it’s browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Salsa:

   • While the chorizo is cooking, combine the red onion, tomato, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro in a small bowl.
   • Squeeze half the lime over the mixture and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

3. Warm the Tortillas:

   • Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or over an open flame for a few seconds on each side until they’re warm and slightly charred.

4. Assemble the Tacos:

   • For each taco, add a generous spoonful of cooked chorizo to the center of the tortilla.
   • Top with a spoonful of salsa, a few slices of avocado, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve the tacos with extra hot sauce and lime wedges on the side.
