Instructions
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon.
Cook the chorizo until fully browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat, turning occasionally, until soft and pliable.
Meanwhile, chop the fresh cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and slice it thinly.
