Method
Prepare the Filling
Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 75°C/165°F). Remove from skillet and let it rest before shredding.
Cook the Chorizo
In the same skillet, add the chorizo sausage and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Use a spatula to crumble the sausage as it cooks.
Assemble the Tacos
Warm the Tortillas
In a separate dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Fill the Tacos
Place a generous amount of the chicken and chorizo filling onto each tortilla.
Serve
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
