Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 pound Chorizo (pork or beef)
- 4 large Green chiles (roasted, peeled, and diced)
- 1 small Onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 6 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small, bite-size cubes (about 1/2 inch).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Push the onions and garlic to one side of the skillet and add the chorizo. Break it up with a spoon or spatula and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chorizo is fully cooked and browned.
Reduce heat to medium-low and stir the roasted green chiles, cooked potatoes, and ground cumin into the chorizo mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine all flavors. Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the burritos by placing an even portion of the potato-chorizo mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream (if using), and a sprinkle of cilantro, if desired.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it tightly into a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve immediately, or wrap in foil to keep warm for later. Enjoy your flavorful Potato Chorizo and Green Chile Burritos!
