PAPAS CON CHORIZO (MEXICAN CHORIZO AND POTATOES)



Papas con Chorizo (Mexican Chorizo and Potatoes) image

The bold, delicious flavors of this traditional Mexican dish are sure to become your new favorite breakfast. Top with a fried or poached egg, or serve inside corn tortillas. I like to top mine with Cotija cheese, cilantro, and hot sauce, with a side of avocado. Home- or store-made chorizo is best, however, feel free to use your favorite brand.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ¼ pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
¾ pound fresh Mexican chorizo sausage, casing removed
vegetable oil, as needed
1 small onion, diced
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, cook chorizo over medium-high heat in a large skillet, breaking up any large clumps, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon, reserving about 1 tablespoon of grease in the skillet. Add oil if necessary to make up 1 tablespoon.
  • Cook onion in the same skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add potatoes to the skillet and saute until potatoes are lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in chorizo and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chorizo: Use a good quality chorizo that is flavorful and not too greasy. Mexican chorizo is typically used in this dish, but you can also use Spanish chorizo if you prefer.
  • Cook the chorizo properly: Chorizo can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most common method is to fry it in a pan until it is browned and crispy. You can also grill or bake chorizo, but be sure to cook it until it is fully cooked.
  • Use fresh potatoes: Fresh potatoes will give you the best results in this dish. Russet potatoes are a good option, but you can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
  • Season the potatoes well: Be sure to season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking them. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Don't overfill the quesadillas: When assembling the quesadillas, be sure to not overfill them. This will make them difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadillas until they are golden brown: Cook the quesadillas in a hot skillet until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This will help to ensure that the cheese is melted and the quesadillas are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Chorizo potato quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover chorizo and potatoes, and they can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack. With a few simple tips, you can make the best chorizo potato quesadillas that will be a hit with your family and friends.
