Chorizo And Potato Mini Flautas Food

CHORIZO AND POTATO FLAUTAS

Steps:

• In a large heavy saute pan, heat the oil on medium high heat. Saute the onions and potato until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the chorizo and saute until fully cooked, crisp and browned, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes and the chorizo to a medium mixing bowl and allow to cool.
• Heat the tortillas directly on the gas burner, about 10 seconds per side, until just soft and pliable. Place 2 tablespoons of the chorizo and potato mixture onto the warmed tortilla and roll tightly to form a cigar.
• In a separate heavy saute pan, heat enough oil to come 1-inch up the sides of a pan. When oil is hot, gently place a rolled tortilla in to fry. Fry on all sides until golden in color, about 4 minutes. Continue working in batches until done with all 10 tortillas. Cut in half and transfer to a serving platter. Top with some lettuce, drizzle with Mexican crema and crumbled queso fresco. Serve with any store-bought red salsa.

MINI CHORIZO, PEA & POTATO FRITTATAS

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a small pan of boiling water for 10-15 mins until tender. Drain, then leave to steam-dry and cool.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a six-hole muffin tin with paper or silicone cases. Tip the eggs, chorizo, peas, parsley and some seasoning into a large bowl. Slice the cooled potatoes into rounds that are the thickness of a £1 coin, and add these to the bowl. Mix gently.
• Spoon the mixture into the cases, ensuring each has some of the potato, chorizo and peas. Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake for 15-20 mins until golden and set in the middle. Check the frittatas are set by shaking the tin gently - there should be no wobble. Leave to cool slightly and eat warm, or cool completely and chill for up to 24 hrs.
