Instructions
For the shrimp and chorizo filling:
- Heat the oil in a skillet or a pan until shimmering.
- Add chorizo and cook until starting to brown (about 4 minutes). Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break up the bulk meat as it cooks.
- Add the shrimp. Continue to cook shrimp and chorizo together until the shrimp are pink and opaque in the center (about 3 minutes).
- Stir in the paprika and the cumin. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
For the tacos:*
- Wipe the empty pan with a paper towel, then set back on the heat. Heat the tortillas in the pan, one by one, each for about ½ minute on each side. Using kitchen tongs, transfer the tortillas onto plates.
- Add shrimp and chorizo to tortillas, then add toppings. Serve immediately.
Notes
- *Heating up corn tortillas before using them as taco shells serves two purposes:
- They will taste better after heating.
- They will become much less brittle after heating so you can fold them without having them break at the fold.
