Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 quart of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, combine chorizo and onion. Cook, stirring often, until sausage is cooked through and onion is soft, about 10 minutes. If sausage has rendered more than a light coating of fat over bottom of skillet, pour off extra. Add potatoes, and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring often, until potatoes begin to brown, about 8 minutes. As mixture cooks, mash everything together a little with back of a spoon or a spatula, scraping up any crusty bits of potato, so that it roughly holds together. Cover, and keep warm over very low heat.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine tomatillos, garlic, and jalapeno. Pulse until fine. Add avocado, and pulse until combined. Season with salt.
- Wrap tortillas in a warm, damp kitchen towel, put them in a microwave-safe casserole dish, and cover. Warm in the microwave for 4 minutes, remove, and let stand a few minutes. Top each tortilla with potato mixture and avocado salsa, fold in half, and serve.
POTATO-CHORIZO TACOS WITH AVOCADO SALSA
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.

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.)

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. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. Add the sausage to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and cooking water and cook, tossing, until the potatoes are browned and the sausage is cooked through, 5 to 6 more minutes. Season with salt.
- Combine the tomatoes, scallion, jalapeno and cilantro in a bowl and season with salt. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or wrap in a damp towel and warm in the microwave, about 1 minute. Fill with the squash and chorizo mixture and sprinkle with the cheese and salsa. Top with sour cream and/or guacamole, if desired.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the chorizo and cook over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until rendered but not cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potato and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges just start to soften and browned bits form on the bottom of the skillet, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the broth and simmer over medium-low heat, scraping up the browned bits, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chorizo is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, gently mix the avocado with the onion, chiles, lime juice, and cilantro; season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the chorizo and sweet potato in warm corn tortillas, topped with the avocado salsa and crumbled queso fresco cheese.
POTATO-CHORIZO TACOS WITH SIMPLE AVOCADO SALSA
These delicious tacos make a nice, simple supper. I'm lucky that my mom makes her own chorizo, and she always gives me some. She makes this potato-chorizo filling all the time, but this particular recipe is by Rick Bayless (my mom is the type who never bothers with measurements). It's also great on tostadas, in burritos and quesadillas.

Steps:
- For the filling: In a medium (3 to 4-quart) saucepan, bring about 1 quart of water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and heavily salt the water (about 2 teaspoons), Simmer until the potatoes are fully tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
- In a large (12-inch) heavy well-seasoned or nonstick skillet or griddle set over medium heat, combine the chorizo and onion; stir regularly, breaking up any clumps of sausage, until the onion is soft and the sausage cooked through, about 10 minutes. If the sausage has rendered more than a light coating of fat over the bottom of the skillet, pour out the excess.
- Add the potatoes to the skillet and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the potatoes begin to brown, about 8 minutes. As the mixture cooks, mash everything together a little with the back of a spoon or spatula, scraping up any crusty bits of potato, so that it roughly holds together (it'll look a little like hash). Cover and keep warm over the lowest heat.
- For the salsa: As the filling finishes cooking, make the salsa: In a food processor, combine the tomatillos, garlic and chiles. Pulse the machine until everything is finely chopped. Peel and pit the avocado, add the flesh to the processor and pulse until everything is well blended (the salsa will be the consistency of a light mayonnaise). Scrape the salsa into a serving bowl, taste and season with salt, usually about 1/2 teaspoon.
- Serving: Scrape the warm chorizo filling into a serving bowl and set on the table along with the avocado salsa and a basket of steaming tortillas.
- Note: If you are using store-bought tortillas, drizzle a clean kitchen towel with 3 tablespoons water and wrap your cold tortillas in it. Slide the package into a microwaveable plastic bag and fold the top over, but don't seal it. Microwave at 50% power for 4 minutes to create steam in the package. Let stand for 2 or 3 minutes before serving.
