Crispy Potato And Chorizo Tacos Recipes

BREAKFAST TACOS WITH CRISPY POTATOES, CHORIZO, AND FRIED EGG RECIPE

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a small saucepan and cover with cold water by 1-inch. Add 1 tablespoon kosher salt and the vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are softed, about 8 minutes. Drain and let rest for 5 minutes to dry.
• While potatoes cook, heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a medium non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through. Transfer chorizo to a small bowl, leaving oil behind.
• When potatoes have dried, reheat chorizo oil over high heat until shimmering. Add potatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp and golden brown all over, about 15 minutes. Add scallion whites and serranos and continue to cook, tossing, until softened and aromatic, about 1 minute longer. Stir in chorizo and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Wipe out skillet.
• Add remaining teaspoon oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add eggs, season with salt and pepper, and cook until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Divide potato mixture between tortillas. Top each with a fried egg and some salsa. Serve immediately with chopped cilantro, scallion greens, sour cream or Mexican crema, and lime wedges. This Recipe Appears In Breakfast Tacos with Crispy Potatoes, Chorizo, and Fried Egg

BREAKFAST TACOS WITH HOMEMADE CHORIZO, CRISPY POTATOES, AND EGG

Steps:

• Make the chorizo:
• Using the flat side of a knife, smash garlic. Finely chop, then sprinkle with salt. Press flat side of knife into garlic and drag it across, repeating until a paste forms. Place pork in a medium bowl and add garlic paste. Finely chop 1 medium-sized chipotle chile with seeds and add to pork (you should have about 1 Tbsp. chopped chile). Add vinegar and 2 Tbsp. adobo from can and stir to combine.
• Make the tacos:
• Heat 8 cups cold water in a large pot over medium-high. Add potatoes and vinegar and season liberally with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are just tender, about 5 minutes, and drain well.
• Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high. Add 1 Tbsp. oil and reserved chorizo. Cook, breaking chorizo into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl, and reserve fat in skillet. (You will need 3 tablespoons fat to cook the potatoes, so add a few more tablespoons of oil if necessary.)
• Heat the skillet over medium. Add potatoes, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Toss potatoes in oil and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, about 18 minutes. Be patient-cooking your potatoes slowly will guarantee a soft, fluffy interior and a perfectly crisp exterior. Add scallions and 1 Tbsp. butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are soft, 2 minutes more. Add potato mixture to chorizo; reserve skillet.
• While potatoes cook, combine eggs, milk, 1/4 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl. Heat tortillas in a dry medium skillet over medium until hot and lightly toasted (or wrap them in damp paper towels and heat in a microwave for about 20 seconds). Wrap in damp paper towels and keep warm between 2 plates.
• Heat reserved skillet over medium and add remaining 1 Tbsp. butter. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until barely set, about 2 minutes. Return sausage and potatoes to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until reheated, about 2 minutes.
• Place 2 tortillas each on 4 plates and divide egg mixture among tortillas. Top with cheese, hot sauce, avocado, and cilantro.
• Do Ahead
• Chorizo can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
