Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. Dice them into small cubes for even cooking.
  2. 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.
  3. In a stovetop skillet over medium heat, add the beef chorizo. Cook until browned and crispy, approximately 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the drained potatoes with taco seasoning until evenly coated.
  5. Gently fold the cooked chorizo into the seasoned potatoes.
  6. 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.
  7. Place the assembled taco cups in the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
  8. 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.
