Cooking Steps

Prep and make salsa fresca
1
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch slices. Finely chop one-quarter of the onions. Reserve remaining onions for step 2.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lime into wedges.
  • Roughly chop cilantro,
  • Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Add tomatoes, finely chopped onions, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a small bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside.
Cook veggies
2

• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

• When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then peppers and remaining onions.

• Cook, stirring often, until tender and beginning to brown, 5-6 min.

• Add half the Mexican Seasoning. Stir to combine.

• Remove from heat, then season with salt and pepper.

• Transfer veggies to a small bowl.

Make lime crema
3

• Meanwhile, add sour cream, lime zest and half the cilantro to another small bowl.

• Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside.

Cook chorizo
4

• Reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium-high.

• When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chorizo.

• Cook, breaking up chorizo into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-6 min.**

• Carefully drain and discard excess fat.

• Add remaining Mexican Seasoning.

• Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Season with pepper, to taste.

Warm tortillas
5

• Just before serving, wrap tortillas in paper towels. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, divide tortillas into two equal stacks, then wrap in paper towels.)

• Microwave until tortillas are warm and flexible, 30 sec-1 min. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm the tortillas!)

Finish and serve
6
  • Top tortillas with chorizo and veggies, then spoon salsa fresca over top.
  • Dollop with lime crema and sprinkle with cheese.
  • Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if desired.

If you've opted to get chorizo, cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the pork.

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: The chorizo sausage made these tacos amazing, with many praising the delicious and refreshing taste.
  • Ease of prep: Some found the instructions a bit confusing, particularly regarding pepper placement in the salsa.
  • Suggestions: Consider using cherry tomatoes for better salsa; cook chorizo first, then add veggies to the same pan.
  • Portions: Several reviewers found the meal not filling enough and suggested adding more vegetables or a side dish.
  • Customization: Try adding adobe and chipotle seasoning for extra flavour; some wished for more cheese.
