• 3 remove chorizos and set aside, and drain off all but one tablespoon of the oil that has cooked out of the chorizos.
• 4 reheat the oil and add smoked paprika (if using it) and stir well.
• 5 add chopped onions and bell peppers and saute for 5 minutes, until softened.
• 6 add chopped corn kernels and saute for 2 minutes.
• 7 add lime juice and 1/4 cup of the taco sauce and cook for 2 minutes. you want the lime juice to mostly evaporate.
• 8 add cooked chorizos and let everything heat through for another 2 minutes.
• 9 while the mixture heats, heat the tortillas according to package directions. i usually zap the whole pack in the microwave for about 1 minute. be sure to remove the silica gel sachet from the pack before heating.
• 10 along the way, get the garnishes ready. these are the remaining taco sauce, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, olives (if used) and any other garnishes you like.
• 11 let everyone assemble their own servings. i usually smear some sour cream on a tortilla, then top with the chorizo mixture and all the garnishes, and fold. be prepared for some fallout and very messy hands.
