Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tostadas
- 12 ounces chorizo sausage
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated cotija cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Push the onion to one side of the skillet and add the chorizo. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the garlic and cooked potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
While the filling cooks, warm the tostadas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to crisp them up if needed.
Assemble each tostada by spreading a spoonful of sour cream on the base, followed by a generous layer of the chorizo-potato mixture.
Top with shredded lettuce, grated cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tostadas just before eating.
