Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying the tortillas
1 1/2 cups peeled and finely chopped russet potatoes (about 1 russet potato)
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
6 ounces raw pork chorizo, removed from casing
10 corn tortillas
1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded, for serving
Crumbled queso fresco, for serving
Mexican crema, for serving
Store-bought salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy saute pan, heat the oil on medium-high heat. Saute the potatoes and onions until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the chorizo and cook until crisp, browned and fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and let cool.
  • Heat the tortillas directly on a gas burner just until they are soft and pliable, about 10 seconds per side. Place 2 tablespoons of the chorizo and potato mixture on each and roll to from a rolled taco. Stick each roll with a toothpick to hold.
  • In a separate heavy saute pan, heat enough oil for frying the tacos. When the oil it hot, add the rolled tacos in batches and fry on all sides until golden, about 4 minutes.
  • Cut the flautas in half and serve on a large platter topped with lettuce and crumbled queso fresco. Drizzle with Mexican crema and serve with salsa.

POTATO AND CHORIZO CASSEROLE



Potato and Chorizo Casserole image

I love the smoky flavor chorizo gives this dish, but I've also made it with Italian sausage and substituted an Italian blend cheese for the Mexican cheese. Or you can use cream of mushroom soup and fresh mushrooms for a vegetarian option. -Ana Beteta, Aberdeen, Maryland

BEEF, CHORIZO, AND CHILE FLAUTAS



Beef, Chorizo, and Chile Flautas image

Seasoned beef, Anaheim chiles, and cheese rolled up in a crispy tortilla. Killer game day food. Traditionally pan-fried, which is very simple to do as well, but they just came out too perfect in the old air fryer.

Provided by Brian Genest

Time 3h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

7 peppers Anaheim chile peppers
2 pounds ground chuck
⅓ pound bulk chorizo sausage
¼ cup canola oil, or as needed
2 ½ (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles light beer
¾ cup salsa
2 tablespoons ground ancho chile powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
24 (8 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers, cut-sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast peppers in the preheated oven until the skins are brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Dice flesh and set aside.
  • Combine ground chuck and chorizo in a bowl, kneading together as evenly as possible.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pot over medium heat. Add meat and cook and stir until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Strain out 90% of the grease.
  • Stir beer, salsa, chile powder, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, salt, marjoram, black pepper, and cayenne into the meat. Stir in 1/2 of the diced chile peppers. Crank up the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until most of the liquid has disappeared, about 2 hours; don't let all the liquid evaporate or you'll have dry meat.
  • Brush one side of a tortilla with some of the remaining canola oil. On the dry side, about 1/2 inch from one side of the tortilla, spoon a line of beef and chorizo, sprinkle with Colby-Jack cheese, and top with some diced chile peppers. Roll the loaded side over multiple times until the tortilla is in a tight roll. Make sure it is tight by tucking the first rotation up under the meat. Set rolled tortilla seam-side down on the wire rack of an air fryer. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Fry in the preheated air fryer for 6 minutes. Serve immediately.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Starter

Time 50m

Yield Serves 6 as an appetiser

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion , chopped
2 garlic cloves , sliced
1 red chilli , chopped
pinch cayenne pepper
pinch smoked paprika
400g can chopped tomato
1kg new potatoes , halved or quartered
250g small cooking chorizo

Steps:

  • Heat a little oil in a pan, fry the onion, garlic and chilli until the onion softens, add the cayenne and paprika and stir. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer, then cook the whole mixture down for about 20 mins until you have a thick paste. Season well and, if you prefer a smooth sauce, blitz it with a hand blender.
  • Meanwhile, steam the potatoes for 10 mins and put the chorizo in a frying pan to slowly cook and release some of its oil. Tip off the excess red oil and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the potatoes and fry everything together, turning the heat up as you go so both the potatoes and chorizo brown in patches. Tip into a bowl. Season the sauce - if it isn't hot enough add a few more pinches of cayenne. Spoon the sauce over the potatoes and chorizo to serve.

Tips:

- When choosing potatoes for this recipe, look for firm, starchy varieties such as Russet or Yukon Gold. These potatoes will hold their shape well during cooking and provide a delicious, fluffy texture. - Be sure to prick the potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting. - For a crispy flauta, brush the tortillas with a little oil before filling and rolling. - If you don't have a griddle, you can cook the flautas in a large skillet over medium heat. - Serve the flautas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or cheese.

Conclusion:

Chorizo and potato flautas are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty and satisfying dish that everyone will love.
