I was fortunate enough to come across some fresh chorizo and needed a delicious recipe to showcase it. This is one of those showcase recipes. For a vegetarian version, substitute Soyrizo for the chorizo. Make some guacamole for the tacos, if so inclined. Read more I am frequently inclined. Enjoy. Adapted from Bon Appétit . See less
