Ingredients

• 500 g Chorizo sausage
• 8 pieces Flour tortillas
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 medium, diced Tomatoes
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 cut into wedges Lime
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Remove the chorizo sausage from its casing (if necessary) and add it to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking for 4-5 minutes until they soften slightly.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let the mixture cook for 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes break down slightly.

Step 6

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix it into the vegetable mixture. Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 7

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave them for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 8

To assemble, place a portion of the sausage-vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the tortillas for added brightness. Enjoy!
