Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef and chorizo, breaking up with a spoon until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Scatter diced onion into the meat, stir, and cook 2 minutes until the onion softens and the filling smells deeply savory.

  3. Step 3

    Push the meat mixture to the side. Lay tortillas flat on the hot surface and toast 60 seconds per side until lightly charred and pliable.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer tortillas to a plate. Squeeze lime juice over the meat, toss gently, then fold each tortilla around a spoonful of filling.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle cilantro over the tacos and serve immediately.
