Directions

Heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the chorizo and cook it until it starts to brown, which should take about 5 minutes. Next, add the bell peppers and onion, cooking them until they’re just a bit soft but still have a good crunch—around another 5 minutes. Pour in the water and sprinkle in the taco seasoning, stirring everything together until the water starts to bubble. Turn the heat down to medium and let the mixture simmer for 3 to 4 minutes so the water can reduce a bit. Finally, stir in the hot sauce and paprika, then give it one last mix before serving.
