Chorizo Tacos Tips

What can you serve with chorizo tacos?

Mix up an easy lime crema using sour cream, lime juice, minced garlic and salt to taste for drizzling over your chorizo tacos. Serve with a side of Mexican street corn or refried beans to make it a meal.

How do you warm up tortillas for chorizo tacos?

Warm tortillas in the microwave (about five or so at a time) for 30 seconds—just make sure they’re covered with a damp paper towel. You can also wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Even better than warming up store-bought tortillas, make your own homemade tortillas!

How do you store chorizo tacos?

Store the chorizo and toppings separate from the tortillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
