Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz chorizo sausage
- 8 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 large avocado
- 12 count cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 large lime
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
Juice the lime into a small bowl and set aside for later.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chorizo sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until fully browned and slightly crispy, which should take about 7-8 minutes.
Season the chorizo with ground cumin, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to combine.
While the chorizo is cooking, arrange the romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter. These will serve as your low-carb taco shells.
Once the chorizo is cooked, spoon it into each lettuce leaf.
Top the chorizo in each lettuce leaf with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion.
Sprinkle each taco with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of lime juice.
Serve with sour cream on the side or add a dollop directly onto each taco for extra richness.
Enjoy your low carb chorizo tacos fresh while the flavors are vibrant and delicious.
