These chorizo and bean tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Spicy chorizo sausage is cooked with onions and garlic, then combined with black beans and served in warm corn tortillas. Topped with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice, these tacos are bursting with bold flavors and textures that will satisfy your cravings for Mexican-inspired cuisine.
Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Remove the chorizo sausage from its casing and crumble it into the skillet. Cook the chorizo, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the chorizo. Sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Drain and rinse the black beans. Add them to the skillet with the chorizo mixture. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook until the beans are heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Wrap the corn tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds, or until warm and pliable.
Divide the chorizo and bean mixture evenly among the warm tortillas. Top each taco with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Serve the chorizo and bean tacos immediately, enjoying the spicy, savory flavors and the contrast of textures between the soft tortillas and the hearty filling. These tacos are perfect on their own or with your favorite Mexican-inspired sides, such as rice and salsa.
