- 2 cups Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes (Wash and peel)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (For flavoring the potatoes)
- 1 pound beef chorizo (Spicy richness)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (For garnish)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (For sweetness)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese (Adds creaminess)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (Cooling contrast)
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (Optional for spice)
- to taste hot sauce (Optional for added flavor)
- Wash and peel the Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. Dice them into small cubes for even cooking.
- Place the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
- In a stovetop skillet over medium heat, add the beef chorizo. Cook until browned and crispy, approximately 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- In a large bowl, toss the drained potatoes with taco seasoning until evenly coated.
- Gently fold the cooked chorizo into the seasoned potatoes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spoon the potato and chorizo mixture into mini tortillas, shaping them into cups on a baking sheet.
- Place the assembled taco cups in the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, garnish taco cups with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. Add sour cream, jalapeños, and hot sauce if desired.
