Potato And Chorizo Tacos Recipes

CHORIZO-POTATO TACOS

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, add 1/2 cup water and season with salt. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over high heat, then add the squash and cook until browned but still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. Add the sausage to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and cooking water and cook, tossing, until the potatoes are browned and the sausage is cooked through, 5 to 6 more minutes. Season with salt.
• Combine the tomatoes, scallion, jalapeno and cilantro in a bowl and season with salt. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or wrap in a damp towel and warm in the microwave, about 1 minute. Fill with the squash and chorizo mixture and sprinkle with the cheese and salsa. Top with sour cream and/or guacamole, if desired.

POTATO AND CHORIZO TACOS

Steps:

• Heat some Canola Oil (as needed) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Peel the Russet Potato (1) and grate with a box grater or cut into a small dice. To prevent browning, add the potatoes to a bowl of water, just be sure to rinse and dry before cooking.
• Remove the casings from the Mexican Chorizo (5 piece). Add the chorizo to the hot skillet and break apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until crispy, 5-7 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and Garlic (2 clove) cooking over medium heat for 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender and no longer have a raw potato taste.
• Taste the mix and adjust Kosher Salt (to taste) if necessary. Remove the crushed garlic.
• Heat a tablespoon more of oil in a separate pan and crisp the Flour Tortilla (8) for 2 minutes on each side, if desired.
• Stuff your tacos with the potato and chorizo mix and top with Onion (to taste), Fresh Cilantro (to taste), Lime Wedge (to taste), and any salsa of choice.

SAUTEED POTATOES WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the clumps, until dry and crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to a paper lined plate to absorb any additional oil. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan and heat the pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and boiled potatoes and saute until brown, about 12 minutes. Stir in the cooked chorizo and season with just a little salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

BREAKFAST TACOS WITH CHORIZO, EGG AND POTATO

Steps:

• For the pico de gallo: Mix together the tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, avocados and onions in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cover and chill.
• For the tacos: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the chorizo until cooked through, breaking up with back of wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chorizo to a paper-towel-lined-plate. Add the potatoes and cook, covered, stirring occasionally until soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined-plate. Whisk the eggs and sprinkle with salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the eggs to the same skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring until the eggs are softly set, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chorizo and potatoes to the skillet and toss with the eggs to warm through and finish cooking the eggs. Toast the tortillas in a small skillet over medium-high heat, topping each tortilla evenly with the cheese, until the cheese melts and the tortillas begin to crisp on the bottom, about 1 minute. Transfer to a platter. Put 1/2 cup of the egg and chorizo mixture in each tortilla and top with 1 tablespoon of the pico de gallo. Reserve any leftover pico de gallo for another use. Fold each tortilla in half and serve with the sour cream and hot sauce.

CHORIZO, POTATO, AND EGG TACOS

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack in top position. Place poblano on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until charred, 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. (Alternatively, roast over a low gas flame.) Transfer to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam 10 minutes. Rub with a paper towel to remove skin. Discard stem and seeds and slice poblano into 2-inch strips.
• Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet with a lid, bring potato to a boil in 1 cup cold water. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender when pierced with a knife, about 7 minutes. Drain potato and return to skillet. Add chorizo and cook over medium-high, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until sausage is cooked through and potato begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add eggs and cook, stirring, until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Serve with tortillas, poblano strips, and salsa.

POTATO, POBLANO, AND CHORIZO TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to high.
• Cut poblanos in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes.
• Place poblano halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil for 8 minutes, until blackened. Place in a paper bag; fold close tightly.Let stand 5 minutes. Peel; coarsely chop.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add potato to pan; cook 3 minutes. Add poblano, corn, red pepper, and garlic; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add onion mixture to potato. Add chorizo to pan; cook 1 1/2 minutes, stirring to crumble. Return potato mixture to pan. Stir in stock and salt; bring to a boil. Partially cover, reduce heat, and simmer 6 minutes or until potato is tender, chorizo is done, and liquid almost evaporates.
• Working with 1 tortilla at a time, heat tortillas over medium-high heat directly on the eye of a burner for about 15 seconds on each side or until lightly charred. Arrange about 1/3 C potato mixture in center of each tortilla; top with 1 1/2 teaspoons onions and 1/ 1/2 teaspoons cheese. Serve with lime wedges.

FRESH CHORIZO AND POTATO TACOS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with 4 inches of cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, until tender. Drain and let cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and coarsely mash them in the saucepan.
• In a large bowl, knead the pork with the salt, garlic, paprika, chipotles, coriander, oregano and vinegar. Gently knead in the potatoes, leaving some chunks of potato.
• In 2 large skillets, preferably cast-iron or nonstick, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the chorizo-potato mixture to the skillets and press into an even layer. Cook over moderately high heat undisturbed until a crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn the mixture in sections and cook until browned and crusty on the bottom, about 5 minutes longer.
• Transfer the chorizo-potato mixture to a bowl and serve with the tortillas, salsa, onion, cilantro and lime wedges.

POTATO-CHORIZO TACOS WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium (3- to 4-quart) saucepan, bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Dice the potatoes into ½-inch cubes, and heavily salt the water (you''ll need about 2 teaspoons). Simmer over medium heat until the potatoes are fully tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• (Note: Chef Bayless uses a quarter of a large onion, but this recipe calls for half of a small onion.) Finely dice onion and place in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and immediately add the chorizo. Cook, breaking up any lumps of chorizo, until the onion is soft and the sausage cooked through, about 10 minutes. If the chorizo has rendered more than a light coating of fat over the bottom of the skillet, pour out the extra.
• As the chorizo cooks, make the avocado salsa: Roughly chop the husked, rinsed tomatillos; chop the garlic clove; chop the chiles. In a food processor, combine the tomatillos, garlic, and chiles, and pulse until finely chopped (scraping down the sides of the processor as necessary). Add the peeled and pitted avocado, season with ½ teaspoon salt, and pulse until everything is well blended; the sauce should be the consistency of a light mayonnaise. Salt to taste, then scrape the sauce into a serving bowl and set aside.
• Use a slotted spoon or strainer to drain the potatoes thoroughly; add them to the skillet with the chorizo mixture and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring regularly until the potatoes begin to brown, 7-8 minutes. As the mixture cooks, coarsely mash everything together with the back of a spoon or a spatula, scraping up any crusty bits of potato, so that it roughly holds together (it will look a little like hash). Cover and keep warm over the lowest heat.
• Serve the potato-chorizo mixture with the avocado sauce and warm tortillas. (To reconstitute or reheat store-bought tortillas, wrap the stack in a damp paper towel and heat in the microwave on full power for 1 minute.)
