Cuisine Mexican
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 lb potatoes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 9 oz Mexican Chorizo not cured
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • corn tortillas
  • oil for frying
  • shredded lettuce
  • diced tomatoes
  • Queso Fresca, crumbled
  • salsa of your choice

Instructions
 

  • Add the whole potatoes to a pot of water that cover them and bring to a boil. Add the salt.
  • When the potatoes are tender remove from the heat and when they have cooled a little peel them, add them to a bowl and mash them with a hand masher.
  • Heat the 2 tablespoons oil and add the onions. Sauté the onions until translucent. Add the chorizo and cook until lightly browned and cooked through.
  • Remove from the heat and add the chorizo to the potatoes and combine. Add a little salt.
  • Heat 12 tortillas on a hot griddle. Divide the chorizo and potato mixture into 12 portions. Add each portion to one edge of the tortilla and roll up.
  • Heat about an inch of oil in a skillet. Add the taquitos, not crowding, and brown on all sides, turning as they brown. Remove to a paper towel to drain. Continue until all have been fried. You can keep those you have fried in a warm oven while you fry the others.
  • To serve, carefully pull one side of the taquito up and add some salsa, then add the shredded lettuce, tomato, and the Quesco Fresco. Enjoy!
