beef and chorizo chili cheese tacos with chipotle mayo
“Embark on a flavor-packed journey with our beef and chorizo chili cheese tacos with chipotle mayo. These savory tacos are a fusion of bold flavors and creamy chipotle goodness, perfect for any taco enthusiast.”
‘Tis the season for tacos.
Okay, okay, tacos really don’t have a season, but if they did, I’m nominating summer as the clear winner. There’s something about warm weather, festivals, food trucks, beaches, sun dresses, flip-flops, and marg sipping on a patio that really sets the stage for taco consuming. I mean, you could eat a fish taco in the middle of winter, but it kind of looses it pizazz, don’t you think?
Tacos are made for the heat because I can demolish seventeen of them (maybe a slight exaggeration. maybe) and not feel like I am going to roll over like an armadillo and die of the meat sweats. See, a taco is this perfectly portioned vehicle that allows you to decide on your fullness speed. It quite possibly is the greatness food invention ever, besides the tater tot, naturally.
So, today, I thought I would share with you my most recent and current obsession taco recipe. Do you remember going to the state fair in the summer and they would have a zillion options for chili cheese covered items? Hot dogs, nachos, fries, etc. Well, I had a nostalgic craving last week and decided to add chili cheese to some tacos.
The verdedict? Mind blowing. The chorizo mixed with ground beef topped with chili, cheese, jalapenos, and the piece de resistance, Frito’s makes for a nostalgic explosion of modern proportions.
BUT! You can’t eat an epic chili cheese taco without washing it down with a little giggle juice. This may be the best deal in town, my friends. Chipotle Mexican Grill is kicking off summer and celebrating every Thursday in July from 4-8pm and will offer a two-for-one deal on Patron margarita! Epic, right?
So make these tacos, stop by Chipotle for a marg, and watch the armadillos walk on by.

I’m never going to turn down a taco at any time of the year but you’re so right – there’s something about sitting outside, drinking a margarita (preferably from a plastic cup) and devouring a plate of tacos that makes everything seem right with the world. The flavours in these are just so perfect – making them asap.
Right?! Tacos are way better consumed on the patio with a marg in a solo red cup!
I absolutely love Mexican food and would never turn it away especially if someone else is making it for me like Chipotle.
Totes! Nothing better than margs and tacos!
Holy g* damn hell. I want 100 of these.
You got it! I’ll send 101:)
Umm fritos on tacos? That’s winning. I’m saving this for when I can enjoy an icy margarita on the side!
Oooohhhhh….an icy margarita sounds so wonderful! Hope you are doing well, my dear!
Why yes, I would like to eat all of these. Love the frito addition! Genius.
Thanks, chica! I’ll send some over to you ASAP!
I totally agree with you about tacos – I think I can eat a dozen in one sitting, at least. These look epic! Love the flavor combo.
