Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scrub the potatoes clean and slice each potato into evenly-sized wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping.
Bake the wedges for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
While the wedges are baking, dice the chorizo sausage into small pieces.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo for 5-7 minutes until browned and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Combine the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese in a bowl.
Once the wedges are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer them to an oven-safe dish or leave them on the tray.
Sprinkle the cooked chorizo evenly over the potato wedges, followed by the cheese mixture.
Return the tray or dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove the wedges from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Drizzle sour cream over the top, then garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cheesy chorizo wedges!
