Ingredients For Chorizo Tacos

Chorizo – Choose fresh, raw chorizo, which is different from a Spanish dried chorizo (more similar to salami). With a handful of spices and some ground pork, you can also make homemade chorizo to use in this recipe.

Potatoes – Use any variety of potato (or frozen diced potatoes with or without bell peppers and onions!

Tortillas – Small, ‘street’ sized corn tortillas are my first choice for chorizo tacos. Other sizes of corn or flour tortillas can be used if you want to make quesadillas.

Optional Toppings For Serving

  • Scrub the potatoes and cut them into ½-inch cubes. Place them in a saucepan and fill with water 1-inch above the potatoes. Add salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Let boil about 8 minutes or until fork tender. Drain well.

  • Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat. Break it up with a spoon and cook until no pink remains, about 7 minutes.

  • With a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to a bowl reserving the fat in the pan.

  • Adjust the heat to medium-high and add the onion and drained potatoes. Stir to coat in the fat and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the onion is tender and the potatoes begin to form a golden crust. Add the chorizo back into the pan and cook for 1 minute more.

  • Heat tortillas according to the package directions. Fill the tortillas with the chorizo mixture and add toppings as desired.

Leftover tacos can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
