One-Pan Chorizo Street Tacos
6 servings
30 minutes total

Ingredients

  • Nonstick aluminum foil
  • 20 oz fresh chorizo sausage
  • 12 cloves garlic
  • 10 oz sliced fresh bell peppers and onions
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium taco truck (or taco) seasoning
  • 12 (4-inch) flour (or corn) tortillas
  • 4 oz queso fresco
  • 2 limes, for wedges
  • ½ bunch fresh cilantro
  • ½ cup diced fresh yellow onions
  • Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line baking sheet with foil. Remove sausages from casings and crumble onto 1 side baking sheet (wash hands). Spread garlic and sliced peppers and onions on remaining half baking sheet; drizzle top of vegetable mixture with oil, sprinkle with seasoning, and toss to coat.
    2. Bake 20–25 minutes until vegetables have softened and chorizo is browned and 160°F. Warm tortillas following package directions if desired.
    3. Meanwhile, crumble cheese (¾ cup), cut lime into 6 wedges, and chop cilantro coarsely (½ cup).
    4. Remove baking sheet from oven; stir chorizo. Stack 2 tortillas together, then assemble tacos in this order: chorizo, roasted vegetables, cheese, diced onions, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce, if using.

    Chef's Tip: When serving juicy tacos, many food trucks will double up on tortillas to add stability and catch all the flavors.
