Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Dice the onion into small pieces and roughly chop the cilantro. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the chorizo from its casing and break into crumbles.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and crispy.

  4. Step 4

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds per side until pliable.

  5. Step 5

    Place a spoonful of chorizo on each warm tortilla. Top with diced onion, avocado slices, cilantro, and a dollop of salsa verde.

  6. Step 6

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco and serve immediately.
