Directions:
Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes
Melt butter in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Divide chorizo into 8 equal balls. Working in batches, if necessary, place the balls 4-inches apart on griddle or skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Place tortillas on top of chorizo balls and press down, using a spatula, to flatten the chorizo into the shape of the tortilla. Cook until chorizo is golden-brown and fully cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Flip tacos over and top with Oaxaca cheese. Continue to cook until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Top tacos with pico de gallo, avocado and Queso Fresco. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
Serves: 8
Tip: To make homemade pico de gallo: In a large bowl, combine 5 chopped and seeded plum tomatoes, 1/2 chopped small red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro and the juice of 1 lime. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
