For a richer flavor, use Mexican chorizo. It's seasoned differently than Spanish chorizo and will provide a more authentic taste. Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chorizo. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning. If you don't have chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle powder, but the flavor won't be quite the same. For extra flavor, top the tacos with a squeeze of fresh lime juice or a dollop of sour cream.
