What is chorizo taco made of?

Cooked chorizo, corn tortillas, onions, cilantro and lime.

What meat is in Mexican chorizo?

Fatty ground pork seasoned with spicy Mexican chilis and spices. If you don't eat pork, you can find beef chorizo.

How do you eat a taco without it falling apart?

Start by using a soft tortilla, not a crunchy one. While in Mexico City, my friend's kitchen staff schooled me on the proper way to handle a taco while eating - use two fingers and a thumb to clamp the taco shut on one end, pinky up style, bite into it from the open end.
