Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 20m

Yield 6 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
8 ounces Mexican chorizo, casing removed and discarded
1 clove garlic, grated on a rasp
One 16-ounce can refried beans with green chiles
Eight to twelve 6-inch flour tortillas, kept warm in the oven
2 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack blend
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 to 3 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Cholula

Steps:

  • In a cast-iron or heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and garlic, breaking up the chorizo with a wooden spoon to resemble ground meat. Cook through. Add the refried beans with a little water, if necessary, to get a smooth, not-too-dry consistency, and stir to combine with the chorizo and onions.
  • Make the tacos. Arrange the tortillas on a plate using two for each taco. Add the chorizo mixture, cheese, a few radish slices, a few cilantro leaves and a shake of hot sauce. Repeat for the remaining tortillas and filling.

GARBANZOS AND GREENS WITH CHORIZO



Garbanzos and Greens with Chorizo image

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1/2 onion, stuck with a clove
1 small carrot, peeled, cut in 2-inch chunks
1 small bay leaf
Salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
Salt and pepper
6 ounces Spanish chorizo, diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon pimentón
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and coarsely ground
1 pound kale or chard, washed and cut in wide ribbons
1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted, optional

Steps:

  • Pick over chickpeas, put them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Drain chickpeas (they should have swelled considerably) and put them in a soup pot. Cover with 6 cups water, add the onion stuck with clove, the carrot and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat and let chickpeas simmer gently. Skim any foam that rises to the surface. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until chickpeas are tender. (If chickpeas seem to be drying out during cooking, add 1/2 cup water to keep them submerged in liquid.) Season generously with salt, and leave chickpeas to cool in the broth (cooking liquid). You should have about 2 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas. (They may be cooked a day in advance, if desired.)
  • Put olive oil in a deep, wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and let it fry a bit, then turn heat to medium. Add the garlic, pimentón and 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin, and stir to coat. Add the cooked chickpeas and 1/2 cup broth. Bring to a simmer, add the greens and sprinkle with a little salt. Stir to allow the greens to wilt. Put on the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until greens are completely cooked. Stir well, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. To serve as a tapa or side dish, transfer to a cazuela or deep serving platter. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and the pine nuts, if using. Alternatively, to serve as soup, spoon the garbanzo-and-greens mixture into 4 deep soup bowls. Ladle 1 cup heated broth into each bowl, and sprinkle soup with the remaining cumin.

FRESH GREEN CHORIZO



Fresh Green Chorizo image

Because it's not stuffed into casings, this vibrant and fiery Mexican fresh pork sausage comes together fairly quickly. The most time-consuming part is roasting the green chiles and garlic, which are then puréed and mixed into ground pork along with spices, parsley and a tangy dose of sherry vinegar. Use the green chorizo as a base for tacos or scrambled eggs, or simmer it with beans into a thick, hearty stew. Wherever you use it though, be prepared for a kick. This is spicy stuff. And here are several more of our delicious chorizo recipes.

Categories     dinner, lunch, sausages, main course

Time 30m

Yield 1 1/4 pounds sausage

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground pork
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds
1/8 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
1 dried bay leaf
4 whole cloves
8 garlic cloves (do not peel)
2 Serrano chiles
1 poblano chile
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1 cup parsley leaves
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place the ground pork in a large bowl. Set a cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add black peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, oregano, bay leaf and cloves and toast briefly until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Remove from the heat, transfer to a spice grinder and grind to a fine powder. Add to the bowl with the ground pork.
  • Return the skillet to a high flame and heat for 5 minutes. Add garlic cloves, Serrano and poblano chiles and roast, turning them from time to time until softened slightly and blackened in spots, about 6 to 12 minutes, removing the pieces as they finish cooking. Set aside to cool at room temperature. Once garlic cloves are cool enough to handle, peel them and discard the skin. Wearing gloves if possible, remove the stems and seeds from the Serrano chiles. Remove the stems and seeds from the poblano chile, and peel away the charred skin.
  • In a blender, purée the roasted garlic cloves, Serrano and poblano chiles along with the sherry vinegar, parsley and kosher salt until smooth. Transfer to the bowl with the ground pork and spices.
  • Mix the chorizo with your (preferably gloved) hands until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to use, or for up to 3 days. The chorizo can also be frozen in an airtight bag for up to 1 month.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Mexican Recipes

Yield Makes 8 to 10 soft tacos

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 to 10 corn tortillas (plus a few extra, in case some break)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for blanching
6 cups loosely packed sliced green or red chard leaves (one 12-ounce bunch)
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 medium white onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup finely crumbled Mexican queso fresco; queso anejo; dry feta; pressed, salted farmer's cheese; or Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup Rick's Essential Roasted Tomatillo Chipotle Salsa Rick's Essential Roasted Tomatillo-Chipotle Salsa
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Warm the tortillas: Place a vegetable steamer in a large saucepan filled with 1/2 inch of water. Bring to a boil. Wrap tortillas in a heavy kitchen towel, lay them in the steamer, and cover with a tight lid. Boil 1 minute, turn off the heat, and let stand without opening for about 15 minutes.
  • Prepare the filling: While tortillas are steaming, bring 3 quarts salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add greens, and cook until barely tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander, and spread out on a large plate or baking sheet to cool. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, stir for 1 minute, then add greens, and stir for about 1 minute, just long enough to heat them through. Season with salt.
  • Prepare the tacos: Scoop the filling into a deep, warm serving dish, and sprinkle with cheese. Serve with the warm tortillas, salsa, and cilantro sprigs.

Tips:

  • When choosing chorizo, opt for a variety that is flavorful and not too spicy. Mexican chorizo is a good option, as it is typically made with pork, chili powder, and other spices.
  • To prepare the mustard greens, wash them thoroughly and remove any tough stems. You can also blanch the mustard greens for a milder flavor.
  • If you don't have any tortillas on hand, you can use flatbreads or even rice as a base for your tacos.
  • Feel free to add other toppings to your tacos, such as guacamole, salsa, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Chorizo and mustard greens tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of spicy chorizo, tangy mustard greens, and creamy avocado is sure to please everyone at the table.
