Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped (about 3 tomatoes)
3 tablespoons lime juice (2 to 3 limes)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 ripe avocado, halved, pitted and chopped
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
1/4 medium red onion, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

6 large eggs
Four 6-inch flour tortillas

Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • For the pico de gallo: Mix together the tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, avocados and onions in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cover and chill.

CHORIZO, POTATO, AND EGG BREAKFAST TACOS (TEX-MEX)



Chorizo, Potato, and Egg Breakfast Tacos (Tex-Mex) image

In south Texas, breakfast tacos are a way of life. There is a taco joint on every street corner. I make tacos for breakfast almost every weekend. This mixture is one of our favorites. I took a big batch in to work one morning and it was a huge hit.

Provided by Pokey in San Antonio

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 16 tacos, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb potato
1 lb mexican chorizo sausage
6 eggs
1/2 cup onion (sliced)
1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
1/2 cup taco sauce
3 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
16 flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Peel and dice 3 medium baking potatoes. Pieces should be about what you would do for potato salad (about 1/2" cubed).
  • Heat oil and brown potatoes. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Once the potatoes start to brown, reduce heat and cover. The idea is to have them lightly brown, but still soft. Add the sliced onions when you cover and reduce the temp to med-low. Stir occasionally. When done, set aside.
  • The best chorizo is a kielbasa style (big fat links in natural skin). Remove from skin and chop up. Fry in skillet until done, drain and set aside. Reserve 2 tbl of the chorizo grease.
  • Scramble the eggs in the reserved grease. Salt and pepper the eggs, and when almost set, add the potatoes and the chorizo.
  • Fold the mixture together then cover and remove from the heat. Serve immediately on warm flour tortillas, toped with cheddar cheese and your favorite taco sauce.

BEEF AND POTATO TACOS



Beef and Potato Tacos image

These tacos are one of the most popular recipes on my blog. We made these by the hundreds for large dinners when I was in grade school. I can assure you that these are no ordinary taco. These are FRIED beef and potato tacos. After they're cooked, you have to throw on some cheddar cheese and let it melt into the taco meat. Very cheesilicious. Just in case you're wondering, they're fattening -- and oh-so-good!

Provided by Cooking Ventures

Categories     Meat

Time 50m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium potato, very finely diced (Yukon Gold is recommended)
1 tablespoon oil
1 medium onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano, divided use
1 1/4 lbs ground beef
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided use (or 3/4 tsp table salt)
3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided use
17 fajita-size flour tortillas (or about a dozen taco-size flour tortillas)
oil (for frying)
lettuce
tomatoes
freshly-grated cheddar cheese
sour cream
salsa

Steps:

  • Peel and very finely dice the potatoes. Russet potatoes (Idaho potatoes) can be used but are not recommended because they fall apart too easily. Put the diced potatoes in cold tap water to keep them from browning while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Add 1 TBSP of oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook one minute longer. Add the ground beef and break up the meat into small chunks. Add 1 tsp kosher salt (or ½ tsp table salt) and ½ tsp of black pepper. Brown the ground beef then drain. Using a potato masher, smash the ground beef into a very fine crumb. Drain and discard the water from the potatoes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the drained potatoes to the ground beef. Add ½ tsp kosher salt (1/4 tsp table salt), ¼ tsp black pepper, and 1 TBSP dried oregano. To bring out the flavor of the oregano, rub it between your fingers before adding it to the beef/potato mixture. Stir to combine. Add 2 TBSP of water to the beef mixture, cover, and very gently simmer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, taste the meat mixture. The potatoes may not yet be fully cooked but you may need to adjust the seasoning. At this point, I normally add another ½ TBSP of oregano and little bit more salt and pepper. The meat mixture needs to be a little on the salty side and have a robust taste of oregano or the flavors will be very muted after frying the tacos. If the meat is sticking to the skillet or the mixture seems a little dry, add another tablespoon of water. Cover and continue to gently simmer for 5 minutes longer. Uncover, stir, remove from the heat, and allow to cool for a few minutes.
  • I, personally, like these tacos in taco-size flour tortillas. My mother prefers them in fajita-size tortillas, which are smaller. Before filling the tacos, you need to warm the tortillas enough to make them pliable. I normally brush 5 tortillas on one side very lightly with water then place them in a stack on a clean kitchen towel then wrap the towel around the tortillas. Microwave the tortillas for 25 seconds (about 5 seconds per tortilla). This does not cook the tortillas or make them tough but provides enough heat for them to become pliable. You should adjust the cooking time for your own microwave. You can also do this in the oven (but it's a lot easier in the microwave).
  • Place a warm tortilla in the palm of your hand and put a couple of spoonfuls of the meat mixture in the center of the tortilla. The tortilla should be comfortably full of meat but not overly full or you will not be able to close it properly. Be sure to re-cover the other tortillas with the kitchen towel so they stay warm. If you are using a taco-size tortilla, you will need 3 to 4 spoonfuls of the meat mixture per tortilla. Gently fold the tortilla into a half-moon shape and pin the edges with toothpicks. Place the filled tacos in a single layer on a sheet pan as you prepare them. When you run out of warm tortillas, you will need to heat more in the microwave (I always do 5 at-a-time so they stay warm).
  • At this point, the tacos can be frozen and fried at a later date. Simple put a single-layer of tacos on a sheet pan and freeze for about 1 hour. I cover each taco in plastic wrap then place the tacos in a freezer bag. Before frying, defrost them in microwave (about 15 seconds per taco) or allow them to defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Heat several cups of oil (I prefer peanut oil) in a Dutch oven or electric fryer. The oil will need to be about 2 to 3 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350°F Depending on the size of your fryer, you should be able to get 2 to 3 tacos in the fryer at one time. You should not remove the toothpicks prior to frying. When frying, do not overlap the tacos. When they have browned on one side, flip them over and brown the other. It should only take a few minutes to brown both sides. When the tacos are deep brown, drain them upside-down on a rack to allow excess oil to drip out.
  • After they have drained for a minute or two, carefully pull out the toothpicks (I use my fingers but needle-nose pliers do a good job for people with sensitive fingers). Fill the tacos with your choice of toppings.
  • *Some brands of flour tortillas are thicker than others. Thicker tortillas work particularly well in this recipe. Thinner tortillas break apart too easily when eating them.

Steps:

  • For the potato rajas: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil and cook potatoes until just tender, about 6 to 8 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Drain, pat dry, and spread in a single layer on a tray to cool.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions with salt and pepper until they begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in red bell peppers and chiles.

POTATO-CHORIZO TACOS WITH AVOCADO SALSA



Potato-Chorizo Tacos with Avocado Salsa image

These tacos are classic Mexican street food. Potatoes are amazing carriers of flavor and absorb the chili and tang of the chorizo sausage wonderfully, creating a rich and vibrant dish.

Provided by Rick Bayless

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
kosher salt
1/2 medium white onion
12 ounces Mexican chorizo sausage, casings removed
3 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
1 clove garlic
1 jalapeño pepper, stems removed; use only 1 chile for less heat
1 avocado
12 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • In a medium (3- to 4-quart) saucepan, bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Dice the potatoes into ½-inch cubes, and heavily salt the water (you''ll need about 2 teaspoons). Simmer over medium heat until the potatoes are fully tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • (Note: Chef Bayless uses a quarter of a large onion, but this recipe calls for half of a small onion.) Finely dice onion and place in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and immediately add the chorizo. Cook, breaking up any lumps of chorizo, until the onion is soft and the sausage cooked through, about 10 minutes. If the chorizo has rendered more than a light coating of fat over the bottom of the skillet, pour out the extra.
  • As the chorizo cooks, make the avocado salsa: Roughly chop the husked, rinsed tomatillos; chop the garlic clove; chop the chiles. In a food processor, combine the tomatillos, garlic, and chiles, and pulse until finely chopped (scraping down the sides of the processor as necessary). Add the peeled and pitted avocado, season with ½ teaspoon salt, and pulse until everything is well blended; the sauce should be the consistency of a light mayonnaise. Salt to taste, then scrape the sauce into a serving bowl and set aside.
  • Use a slotted spoon or strainer to drain the potatoes thoroughly; add them to the skillet with the chorizo mixture and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring regularly until the potatoes begin to brown, 7-8 minutes. As the mixture cooks, coarsely mash everything together with the back of a spoon or a spatula, scraping up any crusty bits of potato, so that it roughly holds together (it will look a little like hash). Cover and keep warm over the lowest heat.
  • Serve the potato-chorizo mixture with the avocado sauce and warm tortillas. (To reconstitute or reheat store-bought tortillas, wrap the stack in a damp paper towel and heat in the microwave on full power for 1 minute.)

In this version, cooked potatoes are seasoned with tomato, onion and garlic for an extra flavor, then topped with sour cream and cabbage coated in lemon juice for the perfect balance of creaminess and crunch. You could also pair the potatoes with cooked soyrizo for an even more memorable plant-based meal - make these your own with the fillings and garnishes you have on hand. Boil the potatoes ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to a week until ready to use to make this an even quicker weeknight meal.

Time 50m

Yield 20 tacos (4 to 6 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium tomatoes, quartered
1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
2 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 3/4 cups neutral oil, such as grapeseed oil, plus more as needed
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and boiled until fork-tender
1 tablespoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
6 ounces purple cabbage, thinly shredded (about 2½ cups)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
20 (6-inch) corn tortillas
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the tomatoes, onion and garlic to a blender, and blend until smooth.
  • Heat a pot (preferably the same pot used to cook the potatoes to save on dishes) over medium and add ¼ cup of oil. Once hot and shimmering, add the blended tomato mixture. Cook until it starts to reduce and darken, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the cooked potatoes to the pot and mash with a bean or potato masher until fully incorporated with the tomato mixture and just slightly chunky, but mostly smooth. Add salt, cumin and nutritional yeast, if using, and stir to combine. Turn off the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Add the shredded cabbage to a bowl with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Toss to incorporate, and set aside.
  • Heat a dry (12-inch) skillet over medium. Warm all of the tortillas on each side in the dry skillet until soft and pliable, about 1 minute, and stack in a dish towel to keep warm. Add about ¼ cup of the potato mixture to half of each tortilla and fold over to cover. Try to keep the potato mixture completely tucked inside, then place the stuffed tortilla on a tray or plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with all of the tortillas.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 1½ cups of oil in a separate skillet over medium. Test the oil temperature by dipping an end of a tortilla to check for bubbling. Once the oil is hot, add 4 to 5 tacos at a time to the skillet. Cook the first side for 1 to 3 minutes, then gently flip and cook for an additional 1 to 3 minutes until crispy and golden.
  • Carefully remove the tacos from the hot oil and return to the paper towel-lined tray or plate to drain off excess oil. Cook the remaining tacos, adding additional oil as needed and scooping out any potato bits with a slotted spoon.
  • Serve immediately with sour cream and shredded cabbage.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 medium poblano chile peppers
3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
12 ounces cremini and/or white mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup Mexican crema, creme fraiche or sour cream
Juice of 2 limes
Freshly ground pepper
Corn tortillas, warmed, and assorted toppings, for serving

Steps:

  • Roast the poblanos directly over the flame of a gas burner or under the broiler, turning with tongs, until charred all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a plate and let steam until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Scrape off the charred skin with a paring knife; remove the stems and seeds. Cut the poblanos into strips and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large nonstick skillet and cover with cold water; season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes; drain. Wipe the skillet dry.
  • Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with half of the herbs, and salt to taste. Discard the excess oil and wipe out the skillet.
  • Heat the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the remaining herbs and the garlic; cook 1 minute. Add the roasted poblanos, crema, lime juice and a few spoonfuls of water; stir until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the potatoes and mushroom mixture in tortillas with assorted toppings.
