Ingredients

• 1 chorizo sausage link (casing removed, meat crumbled)

• 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

• 4 corn tortillas

• 2 tablespoons chopped onion (or to taste)

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional) 

Directions

1. Prepare Chorizo Mixture: In a bowl, combine the crumbled chorizo sausage with the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.

2. Cook Chorizo: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the cooked chorizo to a plate, reserving any grease in the skillet.

3. Warm Tortillas: In the same skillet, heat the corn tortillas in the reserved chorizo grease over medium heat until warmed, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. For each taco, stack two tortillas together.

4. Assemble Tacos: Spoon the cooked chorizo onto the stacked tortillas. Top with chopped onion and fresh cilantro, if desired.

5. Serve: Serve the tacos immediately while warm.
