Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Toast each tortilla 60 seconds per side until lightly charred and crispy. Transfer to a plate.
Step 2
In the same skillet, brown chorizo, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Warm refried beans in a small bowl or the skillet's edge for 1 minute, stirring. Stir sour cream and lime juice together until smooth.
Step 4
Spread 2 tablespoons refried beans on each crispy tortilla. Top with chorizo and a drizzle of lime crema.
Step 5
Sprinkle cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, diced white onion, and jalapeño slices if desired. Serve immediately.
