Prepare the grill for medium-high heat.

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill until pliable, about 1-2 minutes per side.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in cooked chicken and crumbled chorizo, cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and mix in chopped cilantro and lime juice.

Assemble the espontos by placing the chicken-chorizo mixture on a tortilla.

Top with sour cream, diced avocado, cheese, and jalapeño slices.

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
