Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium red-skinned potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium yellow squash, diced
Freshly ground pepper
8 ounces fresh chorizo or other spicy sausage, casings removed
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 scallion, minced

Sour cream and/or guacamole, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, add 1/2 cup water and season with salt. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over high heat, then add the squash and cook until browned but still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.

CRISPY POTATO AND CHORIZO TACOS RECIPE



Crispy Potato and Chorizo Tacos Recipe image

Crispy potato and chorizo are a classic taco combination-one that taco trucks usually get wrong. The ideal potato and chorizo taco should be deeply browned and flavorful, each crisp cube of potato coated in a thin layer of bright red fat packed with spicy, meaty flavor. The chorizo itself should have a range of textures from tender and moist to crisp.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound russet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 3 large potatoes)
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon white vinegar
6 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo or vegan Mexican chorizo
12 to 16 warm soft corn tortillas , for serving
1 white onion, minced, for serving
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Homemade or store-bought salsa verde, for serving
2 limes cut into 8 wedges each, for serving

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add vinegar and 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until potatoes are just cooked through, about 5 minutes after coming to a boil. Drain potatoes and let rest over sink until mostly dry.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until lightly smoking. Add potatoes, shake to distribute around the pan, and cook, tossing and stirring occasionally until very crisp and golden brown on all sides, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a medium nonstick or cast iron skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add chorizo and cook, stirring, until heated through. Continue cooking, stirring and tossing frequently, until all the liquid has evaporated, some fat breaks out, the chorizo starts sizzling, and eventually is quite dry and well-browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer cooked chorizo to pan with potatoes. Toss to combine and season to taste with salt. Serve chorizo and potato mixture immediately with tortillas, onions, cilantro, salsa, and limes on the side.

TURKEY CHORIZO AND POTATO TACOS



TURKEY CHORIZO AND POTATO TACOS image

Categories     Potato     Poultry     Picnic     Kid-Friendly     High Fiber     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Corn     Kosher     Potluck

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

1½ pounds potatoes (about 2 large)
2¼ teaspoon salt, divided
1 pound ground turkey (dark meat)
Few grinds black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo
½ teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and place them in a medium-sized pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes by 2 inches and add ¾ teaspoon salt. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove the potatoes from the water and set aside to cool slightly. While the potatoes are cooking, in a medium bowl, mix the ground turkey with the remaining salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, adobo sauce, coriander, oregano, and cider vinegar. Coarsely mash the potatoes with a fork. Add to the turkey mixture and stir to combine. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the oil and tilt the pan gently to coat it. Add the turkey-potato mixture, spreading it in a thin layer so that it covers the bottom of the pan. Cook the mixture without stirring for 5 to 6 minutes, or until a crust develops on the bottom and the mixture turns golden brown. Flip the mixture in sections and cook on the other side for another 5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Be sure the turkey is cooked through and no longer pink. Divide the mixture among the corn tortillas and top with Cabbage Slaw and Guacamole. Serve with cilantro leaves, lime wedges and hot sauce. The turkey can be mixed (and refrigerated) a day or two in advance-for stronger and spicier flavor-but the mixture tastes best when served immediately after cooking.
