Chorizo Potato And Egg Breakfast Tacos Tex Mex Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and dice 3 medium baking potatoes. Pieces should be about what you would do for potato salad (about 1/2" cubed).
• Heat oil and brown potatoes. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Once the potatoes start to brown, reduce heat and cover. The idea is to have them lightly brown, but still soft. Add the sliced onions when you cover and reduce the temp to med-low. Stir occasionally. When done, set aside.
• The best chorizo is a kielbasa style (big fat links in natural skin). Remove from skin and chop up. Fry in skillet until done, drain and set aside. Reserve 2 tbl of the chorizo grease.
• Scramble the eggs in the reserved grease. Salt and pepper the eggs, and when almost set, add the potatoes and the chorizo.
• Fold the mixture together then cover and remove from the heat. Serve immediately on warm flour tortillas, toped with cheddar cheese and your favorite taco sauce.

Steps:

• For the pico de gallo: Mix together the tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, avocados and onions in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cover and chill.
• For the tacos: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the chorizo until cooked through, breaking up with back of wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chorizo to a paper-towel-lined-plate. Add the potatoes and cook, covered, stirring occasionally until soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined-plate. Whisk the eggs and sprinkle with salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the eggs to the same skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring until the eggs are softly set, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chorizo and potatoes to the skillet and toss with the eggs to warm through and finish cooking the eggs. Toast the tortillas in a small skillet over medium-high heat, topping each tortilla evenly with the cheese, until the cheese melts and the tortillas begin to crisp on the bottom, about 1 minute. Transfer to a platter. Put 1/2 cup of the egg and chorizo mixture in each tortilla and top with 1 tablespoon of the pico de gallo. Reserve any leftover pico de gallo for another use. Fold each tortilla in half and serve with the sour cream and hot sauce.

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack in top position. Place poblano on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until charred, 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. (Alternatively, roast over a low gas flame.) Transfer to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam 10 minutes. Rub with a paper towel to remove skin. Discard stem and seeds and slice poblano into 2-inch strips.
• Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet with a lid, bring potato to a boil in 1 cup cold water. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender when pierced with a knife, about 7 minutes. Drain potato and return to skillet. Add chorizo and cook over medium-high, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until sausage is cooked through and potato begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add eggs and cook, stirring, until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Serve with tortillas, poblano strips, and salsa.

Steps:

• Make the chorizo:
• Using the flat side of a knife, smash garlic. Finely chop, then sprinkle with salt. Press flat side of knife into garlic and drag it across, repeating until a paste forms. Place pork in a medium bowl and add garlic paste. Finely chop 1 medium-sized chipotle chile with seeds and add to pork (you should have about 1 Tbsp. chopped chile). Add vinegar and 2 Tbsp. adobo from can and stir to combine.
• Make the tacos:
• Heat 8 cups cold water in a large pot over medium-high. Add potatoes and vinegar and season liberally with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are just tender, about 5 minutes, and drain well.
• Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high. Add 1 Tbsp. oil and reserved chorizo. Cook, breaking chorizo into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl, and reserve fat in skillet. (You will need 3 tablespoons fat to cook the potatoes, so add a few more tablespoons of oil if necessary.)
• Heat the skillet over medium. Add potatoes, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Toss potatoes in oil and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, about 18 minutes. Be patient-cooking your potatoes slowly will guarantee a soft, fluffy interior and a perfectly crisp exterior. Add scallions and 1 Tbsp. butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are soft, 2 minutes more. Add potato mixture to chorizo; reserve skillet.
• While potatoes cook, combine eggs, milk, 1/4 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl. Heat tortillas in a dry medium skillet over medium until hot and lightly toasted (or wrap them in damp paper towels and heat in a microwave for about 20 seconds). Wrap in damp paper towels and keep warm between 2 plates.
• Heat reserved skillet over medium and add remaining 1 Tbsp. butter. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until barely set, about 2 minutes. Return sausage and potatoes to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until reheated, about 2 minutes.
• Place 2 tortillas each on 4 plates and divide egg mixture among tortillas. Top with cheese, hot sauce, avocado, and cilantro.
• Do Ahead
• Chorizo can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add potatoes, onion, garlic powder, and onion powder to one side of the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Add chorizo sausage on the other side of the skillet and saute, breaking up with the back of a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Turn over the potatoes after a couple of minutes so they get brown on both sides.
• Combine eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon cilantro, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Reduce heat and pour egg mixture into the skillet. Stir eggs until they are very softly set, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Spread out warmed tortillas and divide potato, chorizo, and egg mixture among them. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro. Top with Cheddar cheese and salsa.
