Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil into a 12-inch non stick, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and fry for 5 minutes; add the potato and onion and fry until the onions start to soften, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and cover the skillet; cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the cover, raise the heat, and cook until the potatoes are brown and crispy, about another 5 minutes. Meanwhile break the eggs into a large bowl, add the milk, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until frothy. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, shaking the pan to distribute the eggs evenly. Put the pan into the oven and cook until puffy and set, about 12 to 15 minutes. Turn out onto a cutting board and let it cool to room temperature. Toss the baby greens with the remaining oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Place the greens on top of the tortilla, cut it into thin wedges, and serve.

PAPAS CON CHORIZO (MEXICAN CHORIZO AND POTATOES)
The bold, delicious flavors of this traditional Mexican dish are sure to become your new favorite breakfast. Top with a fried or poached egg, or serve inside corn tortillas. I like to top mine with Cotija cheese, cilantro, and hot sauce, with a side of avocado. Home- or store-made chorizo is best, however, feel free to use your favorite brand.

MEXICAN POTATO & CHORIZO TORTILLA
OH my this was tasty. Better than I fantacized it to be! How many times has that happened in your life?? I digress, if you like chorizo, try it, you'll LOVE it! I used both flour (as Emeril suggests) and corn tortillas. Pick your favorite, they are both wonderful! You can use large (4) 12" or (8) 6" tortillas. I used a combination of both sizes. This recipes was written using (4) 12-14" tortillas. I used my pizza stone and the results were outstanding. We had this for dinner along with salad, guacamole and chips. It would make a great appetizer as well. Recipe inspired by Emeril Lagasse, he uses the grill for part of this recipe, I did the whole thing in the oven. I am writing the oven friendly version.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.

- 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.

TORTILLA WITH CHORIZO
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Heat canola oil in a 12-inch nonstick or cast iron saute pan over medium high heat. Add onions and peppers, cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add chorizo, potatoes, garlic, and cilantro stirring carefully as to not break up the potatoes, cook 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl whisk eggs with a pinch of salt until well blended. Add eggs to the pan with the chorizo mixture. Stir gently with a heatproof spatula, allowing the bottom to cook, pulling away at the sides to allow the egg on top to run underneath as if cooking an omelet.

- Remove from oven. Cut into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose the best chorizo: For the best flavor, use a good quality chorizo. Look for one that is made with pork shoulder or butt, and that has a nice smoky flavor.

- Use a good quality tortilla: A good tortilla will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish. Look for one that is fresh and pliable.
- Fill the tortillas generously: Don't be afraid to pile on the chorizo, potatoes, and cheese. This will make for a more satisfying taco.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for Mexican potato chorizo tacos include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cilantro.
