Potato and Chorizo Tacos
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb chorizo sausage
- 2 large potatoes, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook 1 lb of chorizo sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked chorizo to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced potatoes, onion, and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
- Add the cooked chorizo back to the skillet with the vegetables. Sprinkle in 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- In a separate skillet, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon the chorizo and potato mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
- Serve the tacos immediately and enjoy!
