Best 6 Mexican Chorizo And Potato Pressed Sandwich Recipes

MEXICAN CHORIZO AND SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the tortilla strips with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil on a baking sheet, spread in a single layer and bake until crisp and golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and set aside. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cumin and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the sweet potato, chicken broth, tomatoes and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the sweet potato is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the spinach and lime juice and season with salt. Divide among bowls and top with the tortilla strips, cilantro and avocado.

PAPAS CON CHORIZO (MEXICAN CHORIZO AND POTATOES)

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, cook chorizo over medium-high heat in a large skillet, breaking up any large clumps, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon, reserving about 1 tablespoon of grease in the skillet. Add oil if necessary to make up 1 tablespoon.
• Cook onion in the same skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add potatoes to the skillet and saute until potatoes are lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in chorizo and season with salt and pepper.

PAMBAZO MEXICANO: CHORIZO-POTATO SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a saucepan with hot water, place the diced potatoes and cook over medium-high heat. It will take about 10-12 minutes for the potatoes to be cooked.
• Place the guajillo peppers in a bowl with hot water to soften while the potatoes are cooking.
• In the meantime, cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium-high heat. It will be ready in about 8 minutes.
• By this time the potatoes should be ready, so remove them from heat and drain. Next, stir them into the skillet with the chorizo, and keep cooking for three minutes. This is just enough time to allow the flavors to blend and the potatoes to get a little more tender. Set aside.
• Place guajillo peppers, 1 cup of soaking water, garlic clove, oregano, and peppercorns into a blender. Process until you have a smooth sauce. Strain and place in a bowl.
• Heat a griddle and add a ½ tablespoon of oil. Place the sliced rolls upside down and brush their tops all over with the Guajillo salsa. Flip the rolls so the tops get a little warm and crispy. This step will be about a minute per side. Repeat the process with the rest of the rolls, adding oil to the skillet as needed.
• To assemble the Pambazo, place some chorizo and potatoes on each toasted roll, then top with the shredded lettuce, cream, and cheese. Serve with a hot salsa or pickled jalapeños. Enjoy!

In a medium nonstick skillet, bring 3 tablespoons oil, potatoes, and 1 cup water to a boil over medium heat; season. Boil, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add remaining scallions and chorizo. Cook, stirring, until scallions are soft, 1 minute. Whisk eggs in a large heatproof bowl; stir in potato mixture to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in clean skillet over medium-high. Add egg mixture; cook, stirring to develop curds, 1 minute. Transfer to oven; bake until just set, 10 to 13 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Run a rubber spatula around edges; slide onto a cutting board. Slice and serve on rolls, with mayo mixture and arugula.

MEXICAN POTATO & CHORIZO TORTILLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper or use your baking stone.
• Boil potatoes until tender. Cool, peel and dice.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 T olive oil and when hot add the onions, cook, stirring constantly until golden. 8-10 minutes.
• Add the chorizo and cook, stirring and breaking up, for about 10 minutes until chorizo is cooked through.
• Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. *At this point, I drained & blotted away the excess chorizo oil.
• Add oregano, salt, cumin and potatoes. Stir constantly and brown potatoes (I'm not sure my potatoes browned but warm through at the least), for about 5-10 minutes.
• Lightly brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil.
• Separate your tortillas into 2 stacks> one will be the bottom and one will be the top to make a "sandwich".
• Divide the cheese into 2 portions. Spread 1/2 of cheese evenly over each tortilla. Top with the remaining tortilla to make a sandwich. Place on baking stone or baking sheet. Half way through the baking, press each tortilla with a spatula to release any air pockets. Bake until golden browned and crisp on both sides. *I did not flip.
• Top each pizza sandwich with 2 T salsa, or desired amount, spreading it around with the back of the spoon almost to the edges.
• Divide the chorizo-potato mixture into equal parts for each pizza. Piling slightly in the center. Top with remaining cheese and roasted pepper slices. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Slice into wedges and serve hot. Garnish with cilantro, green onions and sour cream if desired.
