Narrative:

I was captain on a flight from xyz to abq, the PNF. As we got close to airport, we were vectored onto a downwind for runway 26 and told to look for traffic on a right base for runway 26. We would follow that traffic from a left traffic pattern. As I was looking for the traffic, my first officer proceeded to fly the traffic pattern. I had my avionics set up for runway 26, but was primarily outside the cockpit looking for traffic. My first officer lined up for runway 21. I did not notice the discrepancy until about a 2 mi final. At that point, tower cleared us to land on runway 21, instead of runway 26. After landing, I let my first officer continue with the controls as is SOP. We were told to taxi to taxiway C and hold short of runway 8. As I was performing the after landing check, my first officer took a turn on taxiway G and ground queried us as to where we were going. At that point, I took the controls and taxied to the gate via ground control's instructions.
