Chorizo Street Tacos
Chorizo street tacos are a popular Mexican dish that is perfect for outdoor grilling. The spicy and savory flavors of chorizo mixed with fresh vegetables and a soft tortilla make for a delicious and satisfying meal. If you have an outdoor griddle, you can easily make chorizo street tacos for a crowd. In this article, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions and a recipe on how to make chorizo street tacos on an outdoor griddle.
Ingredients:
1 lb. of chorizo
1 white onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeño pepper, diced
1 lime, cut into wedges
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
12 corn tortillas
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your outdoor griddle to medium-high heat. If your griddle has a temperature gauge, aim for a temperature between 350°F and 400°F.
While the griddle is heating up, prepare the chorizo by removing it from its casing and breaking it into small pieces.
Once the griddle is hot, add the chorizo to the griddle and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Chorizo is a fatty meat, so it will produce a lot of oil. Use a paper towel to soak up the excess oil periodically.
Add the diced onions, bell peppers, and jalapeño peppers to the griddle with the chorizo. Mix everything together and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chorizo is fully cooked.
While the chorizo and vegetables are cooking, warm the tortillas on the griddle. Place the tortillas on the griddle and cook for about 30 seconds on each side. This will make the tortillas warm and pliable.
Once everything is cooked, it's time to assemble the tacos. Take a tortilla and add a spoonful of the chorizo and vegetable mixture. Add some chopped cilantro on top of the meat and vegetables.
Serve the tacos with a lime wedge on the side for squeezing on top of the taco. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy your delicious chorizo street tacos!
Tips:
If you want to make the tacos spicier, add more jalapeño peppers or a spicy salsa on top.
You can also add other toppings like diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, or sour cream to your tacos.
If you don't have an outdoor griddle, you can also make these tacos on a stovetop griddle or a cast-iron skillet. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
