Of all the kinds of tacos sold in the taquerías in my town here in Mexico, the I like chorizo tacos the best. I grew up eating chorizo all through my childhood, but it was always as part of a delicious breakfast, alongside eggs, potatoes or frijoles. I didn’t know that you could make rico, Mexican-style tacos just using chorizo sausage, until I had actually moved to Mexico. For me it was ‘love at first bite.’ The best part was that chorizo not only was used for breakfast, but as a meal for lunch or dinner as well.
