🥄 Ingredients

  • 1 pound homemade Mexican chorizo
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • ¼ medium onion, (diced)
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice ((about ½ lime))
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Make the quick lime crema by adding all the ingredients in a small bowl and stirring until fully combined. Set aside.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is completely cooked.

  3. While the chorizo is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate hot skillet or over the open flame on a gas stove for about 30 seconds per each side until warmed through with some toasty brown spots.

  4. Place the tortillas in a tortilla warmer or cover them in a kitchen towel to keep them warm until ready to eat.

  5. Fill the corn tortillas with the cooked chorizo and serve with lime crema, chopped cilantro, and diced onions.
