Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook corn 2 - 3 minutes or until tender. Remove from water and allow to cool.

Cook chorizo in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Reserve 2 tablespoons pan drippings.
Place 1 tablespoon pan drippings and 1 tablespoon canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shells one at a time 10 - 20 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. When needed add remaining tablespoon of pan drippings and canola oil to finish frying the tortillas.
To assemble a taco, spoon chorizo into taco shell, top with sweet corn salsa and cotija cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve.
