Chorizo & Fried Egg Tacos
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 baby potatoes, finely chopped
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons thinly sliced chives, divided
1 tablespoon minced cilantro
8 ounces chorizo
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 large eggs
4 lightly charred (5-6 inch) corn tortillas
crumbled queso fresco or feta, optional
hot sauce for serving
Directions
Place a large sauté pan over medium heat and add oil.
Add potatoes and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes or until potatoes begin to brown. Season with salt and pepper.
Add shallots and garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 4 to 5 minutes.
Add chorizo and stir together until everything is well combined.
Continue to cook mixture for about 5 minutes or until chorizo has cooked through and potatoes are just about fork tender. Stir in 1 tablespoon chives and cilantro and cook mixture for about 1 minute, Remove from heat and adjust seasonings.
Place a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon. Once butter melts and pan is hot add 2 eggs and fry until the whites have cooked through, the edges are crispy and the yolks are still runny 4 to 6 minutes. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
Transfer fried eggs to a baking sheet and set aside.
Repeat with remaining butter and eggs.
To assemble: Spread tortillas out on a large platter and top each with a quarter of the chorizo-potato mixture. Top each taco with a fried egg and finish with a sprinkle of chives, some crumbled cheese (if using) and some hot sauce. Serve.
