Tips

  • Ensure lamb chorizo is thoroughly cooked; use a meat thermometer if unsure to reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  • Elevate your tacos by adding a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, crema, or a drizzle of sriracha for extra creaminess and heat.
  • For best flavor, dice the red onion very finely, or even quick-pickle it for a tangy contrast.
