Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 hot Italian sausages (about 6 1/2 ounces), casings removed
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 6-inch-diameter corn tortillas
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/3 cups sliced romaine lettuce
Purchased red or green salsa

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until brown, coarsely crumbling with back of spoon, about 4 minutes. Push sausage to side of skillet. Add onion and cumin to skillet; sauté until onion is golden and sausage is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir to combine.

  • Use high-quality Italian sausage: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tacos. Look for sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality pork and spices.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: This is important for food safety and also to ensure that the sausage is flavorful and juicy.
