Cooking Steps
- Peel, then coarsely grate carrot using a box grater.
- Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lime into wedges.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add chorizo to the dry pan. Break up chorizo into smaller pieces.
- Add carrots and corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and no pink remains in chorizo, 4-5 min.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add tomato sauce base and Mexican Seasoning. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
- Remove from heat, then stir in half the cheese.
- Place 2 tortillas (4 tortillas for 4 ppl) on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup chorizo mixture, then spread into an even layer.
- Top with another tortilla and another 1/2 cup chorizo mixture, spread into an even layer.
- Top each stack with a tortilla. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until cheese melts and tortillas are heated through, 5-7 min.
- Meanwhile, add tomatoes, half the lime juice, half the cilantro, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Add sour cream, lime zest and remaining lime juice to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Cut tortilla stacks into quarters.
- Divide between plates, then top with lime crema and salsa. Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top.
- Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if desired.
If you've opted to get chorizo, cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the beef.
