Chorizo Tacos in Lettuce Shells
Low-carb take on tacos.
Ingredients
- 2 links Chorizo sausages Around 12 oz total weight
- 1 Tb olive oil
Guacamole
- 1 avocado
- 2 Tb red onion, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3-4 cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 Tb lemon juice
- few cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- drizzle of olive oil
Assembly
- 6 lettuce leaves, cleaned and dry
- Taco seasoning
- lime, halved
Instructions
- Preheat the olive oil in the pan over medium heat for a few minutes.
- Squeeze out the sausage into the pan and break it down with a potato masher or a spatula.
- Cook until cooked through. That means, until you can no longer see pink-red colors inside. This should take about 10 minutes. To check, you can break down the biggest chunk.
- While the sausage cooks, make the guacamole. Mix everything in a bowl leaving avocado somewhat chunky. You can adjust the amounts of ingredients to your liking.
- When the sausage is cooked, transfer it to a paper lined plate to absorb extra grease.
- Place 3 lettuce leaves on each plate. Distribute the cooked sausage evenly among them and top with guacamole.
- Sprinkle with taco seasoning and serve with lime halves on the side!
