Chorizo Tacos w/ Black Bean and Corn Salsa

Hi guys! I shared this recipe over on my personal Instagram and received a great response so I knew I had to share it on the blog! This meal came about one evening when I was craving tacos (this is a frequent occurrence). I found some chorizo in the fridge along with canned corn and black beans in the pantry and knew where this was headed. Surprisingly enough, I had everything else I needed to make this entire meal! I just love when that happens! These were incredibly delicious, quick to make, and are sure to satisfy alllll of your taco cravings! Keep reading for the recipe!

The black bean and corn salsa adds great texture to the tacos. It is a refreshing bite and complements the chorizo! In the bowl we have sweet corn, black beans, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, and a bit of honey.

Here it is all combined! I left mine on the counter while I prepared the rest of the meal, but this could definitely be made ahead of time, covered, and refrigerated if you won't be serving it for a few hours. It is great on the tacos but it's also great with tortilla chips!

Oh man do I love chorizo! It's a bit spicy (not overwhelmingly so) and is the perfect kick for these tacos! You could 100% pass up the chorizo and use ground beef in its place! I seasoned the meat with onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. This is basically adobo seasoning, which can be purchased at the grocery store! I just happened to have all the necessary spices so I skipped a trip to the store. Season the meat liberally! This is where a lot of the flavor comes from! If you're unsure of how much to use, start with 1 tsp of each, taste, and adjust.

Once the meat is removed, the tortillas are cooked in the same pan! This adds even more flavor to your overall taco! I used white corn tortillas, but you could use yellow corn, or even flour tortillas! I chose these white corn tortillas for their smaller size. I cooked them for 1-2 minutes per side and then covered them with foil on a plate.
