Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 fresh chorizo sausages, cut into slices
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 medium onion, chopped
8 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup mixed baby greens, for garnish
1/2 lemon, juiced

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)



Papas con Chorizo (Mexican Chorizo and Potatoes) image

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



Mexican Potato & Chorizo Tortilla image

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.

1 tablespoon Mexican oregano, I used regular
1 1/4 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 large flour tortillas, 12-inch substitute eight 6-inch size, can use corn tortillas
12 ounces monterey monterey jack pepper cheese, divided
1/4-1 cup salsa, use as much as you like
1/2-3/4 cup roasted yellow pepper, sliced thin, can substitute red
1/4 cup green onion, sliced

Steps:

  • 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.

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.

Yield Makes 64 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bunch scallions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 oz Spanish chorizo (cured spiced pork sausage), cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 1/2 lb yellow-fleshed potatoes such as Yukon Gold (about 4 medium), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
9 large eggs
3/4 cup sour cream
5 oz Manchego or white Cheddar, coarsely grated (2 cups)

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a 13- by 9-inch baking pan or dish.
  • Finely chop white and green parts of scallions and reserve separately.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook onions, garlic, white parts of scallions, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden, about 6 minutes. Add chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown and release oil, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate, then stir in potatoes and cover skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and cool slightly.
  • Whisk together eggs, sour cream, cheese, scallion greens, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl, then pour into baking pan. Sprinkle potato mixture over eggs (some potatoes will stick out). Bake until custard is set, about 20 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack to warm or room temperature. Trim 1/2 inch off each side, then cut tortilla into 1 1/2- by 1-inch rectangles.

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.
  • Cook the chorizo until it is crispy: This will help to render out the fat and give the chorizo a nice texture.
  • 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.

Conclusion:

Mexican potato chorizo tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying taco that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give these Mexican potato chorizo tacos a try. You won't be disappointed!
