Why did the chicken cross the road? To meet Chorizo and grab a taco, of course. Street food, or antojitos (“little cravings”), are the definition of easy-breezy deliciousness – street tacos are no exception. From the food stalls of Mexico to the food trucks of California, street tacos are the pinnacle of Mexican cuisine. Whip up these Chicken Chorizo Street Tacos today and transport yourself to the vibrant culture of Latin America.

Let’s Get Started

  • Prep Time: 5 mins

  • Cook Time: 15 mins

  • Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 package of (12 oz.) El Popular Chicken Chorizo
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • ½ cup of sour cream
  • ½ cup salsa
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro minced
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 lime, squeeze to taste
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, cabbage, shredded carrots, and onions

Directions

  • Remove casing from Chorizo and place in a large pan. Throw in onion and cilantro, and cook together until onions are beginning to tender, and Chorizo beginning to brown. Put in the cooked shredded chicken and stir until all contents are cooked and warm.

  • For an authentic experience, place tortillas over the stove burner, flipping occasionally with metal tongs until starting to brown – DO NOT BURN. Alternatively, place tortillas in a small skillet with some cooking oil, toasting until warm.

  • When the tortillas are finished, evenly distribute and spread the Chorizo and chicken mixture on each tortilla. Top with sour cream or yogurt, any topping of your choice, and finish with lime and salt.

  • Put on a plate or, for a more traditional experience, place in a piece of foil and paper towel and enjoy on the go!

Chorizo 101

Chorizo is a spicy sausage believed to have come from Ancient Rome and later adopted by the Spaniards who brought it to Mexico. Unlike Spanish Chorizo — Mexican Chorizo is soft, raw, uncured, and uncooked. Similar to how Americans view bacon, Chorizo is a versatile ingredient used to enhance any dish!
