Instructions
1
Prep
Mince the garlic and crush the dried chili. Combine ground beef, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chili, oregano, salt, pepper and ice water in a bowl; mix by hand until tacky.
2
Stuff
Rinse the hog casing and fill with seasoned meat using a sausage stuffer or piping bag, twisting into one 4 in link; pinch and tie both ends.
3
Chill
Rest the stuffed sausage in the fridge for 15 minutes until the casing firms.
4
Grill
Brush grill grates with olive oil and heat to medium-high; grill the sausage 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until charred and the centre reaches 160°F.
5
Char
Lay tortillas and scallion halves directly on the grate over medium-high heat; grill 1–2 minutes per side until tortillas blister and scallion chars.
6
Plate
Slice the sausage diagonally and arrange on warm tortillas with grilled scallion, lime wedges and salsa.
