When it comes to amazing taco recipes, it's hard to beat spicy chorizo tacos! This quick recipe uses ground pork chorizo, layers of simple fresh flavors, and a zesty lime crema drizzle for our favorite easy taco dinner.
Preheat a large heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet over medium heat until just smoking.
Add the ground pork chorizo and, using a firm spatula, steak breaking the ground pork into smaller pieces.
Cook the chorizo for 3 to 5 minutes
Continue to break the chorizo up into small pieces as it cooks.
Add the onion and jalapeno. Stir to combine.
Continue to cook the chorizo until the onion has softened, and the pork is cooked through and starting to brown all over. About 8 to 10 minutes longer.
Remove from heat and keep warm.
Make the Lime Crema
Spoon the crema into a large bowl.
Add the lime juice, Girl Carnivore spice blend, salt, and cilantro.
Stir to mix well.
Assemble the tacos
Working in batches, toast the tortillas over an open flame until pliable and just browning in a few spots.
Alternatively, toast the taco shells on a griddle or preheated grill.
Build the street tacos by spooning the cooked chorizo onion mix into the warmed tortillas and top as desired with minced onion, cilantro, the lime crama, diced peppers, avocado and pickled red cabbage or any of your favorite taco toppings.
Notes
The lime crema can be made up to a day ahead of time. Store covered with plastic wrap in the fridge until ready to use.
