Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • corn tortillas
  • salsa, white onion, cilantro, radishes and lime for serving

Instructions

  • Add the pork to a large bowl. Mix in the garlic, spices and apple cider vinegar with your hands until combined.
  • Heat vegetable oil in large cast iron skillet or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and break up with a spoon. You want to cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until you get a nice char on the chorizo.
  • Add tortilla to small pan and cook for 30 seconds on each side over medium heat. Remove and set aside. Repeat as necessary.
  • To serve tacos, spoon chorizo over the tortilla and top with some chopped onion, cilantro, salsa, sliced radish and squeeze of lime.

Notes

  • Don't stir the chorizo too much when cooking as you want to get a nice char on it.
  • To make the corn tortillas pliable, heat a small skillet over medium heat and cook for 30 seconds on each side. You can also cover the tortillas with a wet paper towel and place in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  • Don't overdue it with the toppings. Street tacos should have minimal toppings like cilantro, onion and some fresh lime juice.
