| 1. Heat a large frying pan and add chopped chorizos (don't add any oil). Saute for 5-10 minutes, until sausages pieces are done. | 2. You can chop the veggies while the chorizo is cooking. | 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. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
