Techniques
Heat water in a kettle. Snip the tops off five guajillo chilies and remove the seeds.
- water
- 5 whole guajillo chilies
Toast the chilies lightly in a hot pan 10 to 15 seconds without burning.
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 250 g chicken stock
Pulse the rehydrated chilies in a food processor with two garlic cloves and 250 g chicken stock (or water) until completely smooth.
- salt
- sandwich bread rolls
Taste and salt as needed; cover and keep ready (or refrigerate ahead).
- 227 g chorizo
Put 227 g chorizo in a cast iron pan over low heat until the fat just starts to render.
Add the potato to the chorizo, turn the heat to medium and cook about 8 to 10 minutes until browning and the potato has softened.
- cotija
Crumble the cotija, thinly slice the lettuce, and have the salsa verde and pickled onions ready.
- lettuce
- salsa verde
- pickled onions
Halve the roll. Pour chili sauce on a plate, set the bread on it, pour more over and work it into the outside of the bread.
Move the filling off the heat; toast the sauced bread in the pan (a touch of fat first helps) on both sides until it firms up.
Fill with plenty of chorizo and potato, a spoonful or two of cotija, shredded lettuce, salsa verde and pickled onions; slice in half.
