Beef Tacos with Chorizo Directions
- Combine beef, chorizo, pepper, and salt in 12-inch nonstick skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until beef is no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes, breaking up meat with wooden spoon. Stir in onion and poblano and cook until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, and chipotle and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in tomatoes and water and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and continue to cook until tomatoes are beginning to break down, about 10 minutes longer. Off heat, stir in cilantro.
- Divide filling evenly among tortillas, about ¼ cup each. Serve.
