directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Brown chorizo in a large skillet over medium heat, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Pour off the fat.
  • Add the onion, tomato and mushrooms and chile, if using, and sauté until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, spread the cheese in a small metal baking dish and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until completely melted.
  • Remove from the oven.
  • Pour the chorizo mixture over the melted cheese.
  • Pour the liquor over the top, and using a long match, carefully ignite the liquor- the flames will die down in 30 to 40 seconds.
  • Heat the tortillas (can wrap in a paper towel and heat in microwave 1 minute).
  • Divide and place cheese/chorizo mixture inside each tortilla and folding them over to form a taco.

  1. This was good. Make sure you drain the chorizo well, or things could get messy! I also did not add the optional ingredients, as I did not have them on hand.
