Ingredients

  • 12 oz oz ground pork chorizo
  • 18 large leaves butter lettuce leaves
  • 2 avocados
  • 4 roma tomatoes
  • 1 small, divided white onion
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 lime
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4, thinly sliced radishes

Instructions

  1. 1

    Char the tomatoes, half the onion, and the jalapeno under the broiler for 10 minutes, turning until blistered.

  2. 2

    Blend the charred vegetables with garlic, half the cilantro, lime juice, and salt to make a roasted salsa; set aside.

  3. 3

    Brown the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up, for 10 minutes until crisp at the edges.

  4. 4

    Whisk cumin and smoked paprika into the chorizo and cook 2 more minutes.

  5. 5

    Whip avocados with lime juice and salt until smooth and creamy.

  6. 6

    Warm the lettuce leaves briefly in a dry pan for 20 seconds to make them pliable.

  7. 7

    Assemble each taco: avocado spread on the leaf, chorizo on top, radish slices, diced raw onion, remaining cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately with extra salsa on the side.
