Ingredients

1/4 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 pound ground pork
1/3 cup chorizo seasoning, more if needed
12 corn tortillas, warmed
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup water, if needed

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and minced onions. Cook for about 3 minutes until onions begin to soften and become translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground pork and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is completely cooked.
Add the chorizo seasoning and stir to incorporate it into the meat. Continue to cook the flavor into the meat for about 3 minutes. Taste and add more seasoning if needed.
Add water if the meat dries out too much as it cooks. I like my chorizo on the wetter side, so add water to your preference.
Warm the corn tortillas in a separate hot skillet or over the open flame on a gas stove for about 30 seconds per each side until warmed through with some toasty brown spots.
Fill the corn tortillas with the cooked chorizo and add desired toppings.
Garnish and enjoy with chopped cilantro, chopped onions, or any taco toppings you desire!
