How to spot good chorizo tacos

  • Good chorizo is griddled until the fat renders and the edges crisp, not stirred into a wet paste.
  • It is already salty and heavily seasoned, so go light on salsa and let lime do the work.
  • Chorizo con papa (with potato) is the standard pairing and balances the richness.
  • Mexican chorizo is raw and crumbled. If it arrives sliced and firm, that is Spanish chorizo, a different sausage.
