Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chorizo sausage
- 8 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 medium Avocado
- 1 medium Lime
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the casing from the chorizo and break the meat into the skillet.
Cook the chorizo for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's cooked through and slightly crispy.
While the chorizo is cooking, prepare the toppings: halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the avocado, chop the cilantro, and cut the lime into wedges.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly, then set them aside as your taco 'shells'.
Once the chorizo is cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
Assemble the keto tacos by filling each romaine leaf with a portion of chorizo, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Season each taco with a bit of salt and black pepper.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for drizzling.
