Pro Tips for the Best Beef and Chorizo

1. Choose the Right Chorizo: Use fresh Mexican chorizo for authentic flavor. You can pick mild or spicy depending on your preference.

2. Don’t Overcook the Beef: Brown the ground beef just until cooked. Overcooking can make it dry.

3. Prep Your Veggies in Advance: Dicing carrots, potatoes, and onions before cooking saves time and keeps the process smooth.

4. Layer the Flavors: Sauté onions and garlic before adding meat for a deeper, richer flavor.

5. Customize Your Toppings: Cheese, avocado, cilantro, and lime wedges all add freshness and richness. Experiment to find your favorite combination.

6. Serve with Something Soft: This dish pairs perfectly with rice, tortillas, or even a crusty bread to soak up all the juices.
