TAQUIZA
Traditional

Papa con Chorizo Veg

Creamy potatoes crisped in the stained, spiced fat of soy chorizo — the Guanajuato lunch-counter standard, fully vegetarian and no less satisfying. Mash a few cubes into the pan so every taco gets crackly edges and soft middles.

Method

  1. Cover the diced potatoes with salted water, bring to a boil, and simmer until just tender at the tip of a knife.

  2. Drain the potatoes well and let them steam dry in the colander for a couple of minutes.

  3. Fry the soy chorizo in oil over medium heat, breaking it up, until it darkens and smells toasty.

  4. Push the chorizo aside, add the onion, and cook until soft in the spiced fat.

  5. Add the potatoes and cook undisturbed in patches so they crisp, mashing a few cubes into the mixture; season with salt.

  6. Warm the tortillas on a comal, fill with papa con chorizo, and top with salsa verde, crema, queso fresco, and cilantro.
