Taco Tuesday!!! These were Lola Farms chorizo tacos with sauteed leeks and homemade pickles. I served them with some zucchini slices that I brushed with avocado oil and broiled for about 15 minutes. Truth be told, I’m guessing at that number because I really just keep my eyes on it. The broiler and I have a history and I have learned the hard way that I shouldn’t get distracted while I have something under it. It’s best to just check it often because it might have been closer to 10 and, anyway, your oven will be different. Or, you could grill the zucchini and that would be delicious. I’m not allowed to have a charcoal or gas grill here…HOA rules say electric only…so the broiler is the way to go for me.

This might be one of the fastest meals that I eat all week. I love a dish that lives for variation and tacos are part of the aristocracy of that bunch. This one takes about 15 minutes to get on the plate. I brown the chorizo in a sauté pan over medium high heat until it’s cooked through. Then, I warm up a couple of sprouted corn tortillas from the freezer. Once they’re good, I pile on the chorizo and top with whatever I have in the fridge that is pickled. Tonight, I had the last of a batch of quick pickles that were in the same jar as some red cabbage. I threw the leeks on at the last minute because I had them in the fridge and I wanted a little more color.
