Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Chorizo sausage
- 4 medium Yellow potatoes
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
Instructions
1. Wash and dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes (about ½ inch in size).
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chorizo sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, for about 6-8 minutes or until fully cooked and browned. Transfer the chorizo to a plate and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
3. In the same skillet, add the diced potatoes and cook over medium heat in the chorizo fat. Stir occasionally and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Season with a pinch of salt if needed.
4. Warm the corn tortillas by placing them on a dry skillet or directly over a low flame for about 30 seconds per side, until soft and pliable.
5. Assemble the tacos by dividing the cooked potatoes and chorizo evenly among the tortillas. Top with a drizzle of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
