Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) Johnsonville Chorizo Ground Sausage
1 lime, divided Juice one half and slice the other half into wedges
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ cup mayonnaise
2 cups frozen corn, thawed
8 corn tortillas

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine lime juice, chili powder and mayonnaise. Stir in corn and set aside.
Divide sausage into 8 portions and form each into a patty.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place a sausage patty on the pan, then immediately place the tortilla directly over the top.
Using a spatula, firmly press down on the tortilla to flatten the sausage as much as possible. Wiggle the spatula slightly to spread the meat evenly.
Continue to press intermittently for 2-3 minutes, until the sausage is browned and cooked through.
Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat, and repeat for 7 other patties, draining excess grease from skillet as needed.
Fill each taco with corn mixture and top with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
