Hey there, fellow food lovers! Are you ready to kick your taste buds into high gear? I've got just the thing: Chorizo and Potato Tacos that are not only ridiculously delicious but also surprisingly easy to whip up. And if you're anything like me, you're always on the hunt for meals that are both satisfying and nutritious. That's where these little flavour bombs come in!
We're not just talking any old tacos here. We're talking about the perfect marriage of spicy chorizo, tender potatoes, and sweet onions all wrapped up in a warm tortilla. It's a fiesta in every bite! And the best part? You can customize it to your heart's content. Feeling adventurous? Toss in some scrambled eggs for a hearty breakfast taco. Craving extra heat? Add a dash of your favourite hot sauce. The possibilities are endless!
Now, I know what you might be thinking: 'Making my own chorizo? Who has the time?' And you're right, store-bought chorizo is totally fine! But, if you’re feeling like a culinary hero, making your own chorizo is incredibly rewarding. Plus, you get to control exactly what goes into it, which is fantastic when you're watching what you eat. If you're curious, maybe we’ll tackle a homemade chorizo recipe in the future.

- Customizable: Add your favorite toppings and make them your own.
- Healthy: Packed with protein and customizable to fit your nutritional goals.
- Flavorful: A perfect balance of spice, sweetness, and savory goodness.
Ingredients You'll Need:
- 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 pound of russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- ½ pound of chorizo sausage (store-bought or homemade!)
- ½ medium white onion, diced
- 1 bunch of green onions, diced
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 16 small corn tortillas (flour works too if that's your jam)
Let's Get Cooking:
- Prep the Chorizo: Remove the casing from the chorizo and set aside.
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, salt, and pepper, stirring to coat with oil. Cook for about 3 minutes, then add the diced onion. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Cook the Chorizo: Add the chorizo to the skillet and cook, breaking it up into chunks, until it's cooked through and starting to crisp up (about 10 minutes).
- Combine: Mix in the cooked potatoes and onions with the chorizo.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat your corn tortillas on a stovetop or in a microwave.
- Assemble: Top the tortillas with the chorizo and potato mixture, and sprinkle with green onions.
