Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large tortillas
Vegetable oil for deepfrying
9 ounces chorizo sausage, removed from casings and crumbled
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
1 cup shredded anejo cheese
1 head green leaf lettuce, shredded

Steps:

  • Pour the oil into a large pot, to a depth of 2 to 3 inches, and heat to 375 degrees F. Drop in 1 tortilla at a time and fry until crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes, turning once. Remove with tongs, shake off excess oil and transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat for all tortillas.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the chorizo and saute for 3 minutes, or until browned. Spoon out excess fat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute to release its aroma. Add the tomatoes saute an additional minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the anejo cheese.
  • To serve, spoon warm chorizo mixture onto crisp tortillas and top with shredded lettuce.
