Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 Yukon gold potatoes, (medium dice)
- 1 shallot, (finely minced)
- 2 garlic cloves, (minced)
- 8 oz spicy chorizo, (finely diced)
- Kosher salt & freshly-ground black pepper, (to taste)

- ¾ cup queso fresco, (crumbled, to serve)

Instructions
- Place a large pan on medium heat.
- Add your 2 Tbsp olive oil, and wait for 30 seconds while the oil warms up.
- Add chopped Yukon gold potatoes to the pan, and sauté them for five mins, or until the potatoes are golden brown.
- After the potatoes have browned, season them with freshly-ground black pepper and salt.
- Add minced garlic and shallots to the pan, and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
- Add the chorizo, then mix everything well.
- Cook everything for an additional five mins, or until the chorizo is cooked through and the baby potatoes are tender.
- Take the pan off the heat and see if you would like to add some additional Kosher salt or freshly-ground black pepper.
- Set the mixture aside for later.
- Place a nonstick pan on medium heat and some of the butter.
- Fry a few eggs at a time in the butter, season with some Kosher salt & freshly-ground black pepper, and assemble tacos individually once the eggs are done frying.
- Briefly griddle both sides of each tortilla, and fill each tortilla with a small scoop of the potato and chorizo filling, some of your favorite hot sauce, queso fresco, freshly-squeezed lime, fresh cilantro, and sour cream.
Notes
These tacos are best eaten fresh, although they can be reheated and still will taste pretty good.
