Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • chorizo
  • chopped up onions
  • boiling potatoes
Put the chorizo in the pan to cook alongside the chopped onions.
Cut up the boiling potatoes to par-cook them (boiling in salted water also works).
  • 2 tbsp water
Put the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with a couple tablespoons of water, cover with plastic wrap, poke a couple of holes and microwave at full power about 3 minutes to steam.
When the chorizo is losing its pink colour, lift the potatoes out of the steaming liquid into the skillet.
Potatoes into the chorizo
Cook together until the potatoes are completely done and have absorbed the chorizo's flavour. Shiitake mushrooms can be cooked in as a variation.
  • salt
  • queso anejo
Sprinkle lightly with salt; the chorizo carries most of the seasoning.
  • 2 whole warm tortillas
  • salsa verde (green tomatillo salsa)
Lay down a couple of warm tortillas and put the potato chorizo in the middle.
Building the taco with salsa verde
  • avocado
Spoon a little tomatillo salsa verde over the top.
Cut a couple of avocado slices, peel off the skin and lay them on top.
  • cilantro leaves
Sprinkle with a little queso anejo and a few cilantro leaves.
