Ingredients
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and begin breaking it apart using a wooden spoon as it cooks.
After 2–3 minutes, stir in the diced onion. Add the minced garlic and continue cooking until the chorizo is fully browned, slightly crispy, and fragrant, about 5–7 minutes total.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar and cook for another minute. Taste and add salt only if needed, since chorizo is already well-seasoned.
Place a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Warm each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until soft, pliable, and lightly charred.
Transfer the warmed tortillas into a clean kitchen towel to trap the heat and keep them soft.
Place two warm tortillas on each plate to help prevent tearing. Spoon the hot chorizo filling evenly onto the tortillas.
Top each taco with chopped onion, fresh cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese.
Finish with lime wedges, salsa, and any optional toppings like sliced radishes or diced avocado.
