For Garnish and Serving:

1. Cook the Potatoes
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.

- In the same skillet, add the chorizo and cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked and crispy.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the chorizo and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened.
3. Combine Chorizo and Potatoes
- Add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet with the chorizo mixture.
- Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Sprinkle with cumin, chili powder (if using), and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Warm the Tortillas
- Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or on a griddle for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
5. Assemble the Tacos
