Method
 

  1. Cook chorizo. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and cook, stirring ocasionally, until firm and has changed from brick red to reddish brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  2. Warm tortillas. Toast tortillas over the open flame of your gas stove or in a comal until they are hot and charred a few places. Dip into the simmering chorizo so both sides get coated in the juices. Stack on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Yes, your hands will get messy when you eat them and that's okay—use lots of napkins.
  3. Serve. Spoon chorizo into tortillas and pass the garnishes at the table for everyone to make thier own taco. Enjoy!
