In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the crumbled chorizo and the finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Ensure the chipotles are evenly distributed for a balanced flavor. (Prep time: ~5 minutes)

Heat a cast-iron skillet (or any heavy-bottomed skillet) over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo mixture to the hot skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it's beautifully browned and crisp. This should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the cooked chorizo to a plate, being sure to reserve the flavorful grease rendered in the skillet. (Cook time: ~7 minutes)

Using the reserved chorizo grease in the skillet, warm the tortillas over medium heat until they are pliable and slightly charred, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. This step infuses the tortillas with incredible flavor. Stack two tortillas for each taco for added strength and texture. (Cook time: ~4 minutes)

Fill each double-layered tortilla with the cooked chorizo, a generous sprinkle of chopped white onion, and a flourish of fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors! (Assembly time: ~3 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use Mexican chorizo. It's seasoned differently than Spanish chorizo and will provide a more authentic taste.
Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chorizo. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
If you don't have chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle powder, but the flavor won't be quite the same.
For extra flavor, top the tacos with a squeeze of fresh lime juice or a dollop of sour cream.

Nov 8, 2024I used a different type of chorizo (since I couldn't find Mexican Chorizo) and it still turned out great.
