Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the sausages
For Italian and chicken sausages:
- Pat the sausages dry with a paper towel; prick in a few places with a fork, if desired.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes, then cut on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick slices. Do not clean the pan.
For chorizo:
- Cut a small corner from the chorizo packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring to break up the chorizo, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Do not clean the pan.
While the sausages are cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.

Prep the remaining ingredients
- Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; thinly slice the pepper.
- Trim the root ends from the scallions; cut the scallions into 2-inch lengths.
- Cut the lime into wedges; set aside for garnish.
- Crumble the queso fresco if needed; set aside for garnish.
3
Cook the vegetables
In the same pan used for the sausages, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the bell pepper and scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with pepper. Meanwhile, start preparing the tortillas.
4
Warm the tortillas
- Remove 6 [12] tortillas from the package; save the rest for another use.
On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in a dry medium frying pan over medium heat, warm the 6 [12] tortillas, turning once, until just pliable and warmed through, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel, cover, and keep warm.
