Great for Tacos & Gorditas

Potato and chorizo guisado is great for filling gorditas and tacos. Preparation is super simple and it’s packed with flavor. The word guisado roughly translates as “stew” but think of guisados more like cooked fillings that are prepared in a pan or a pot. Here we have served our guisado with Tia Vicky style gorditas encarceladas.

Gordita Filled with Potato Chorizo Guisado

Ingredients

This guisado couldn’t be simpler. You need 3 medium white waxy potatoes, ½ pound of Mexican chorizo, cooking oil and a pinch of salt.

White Potatoes and Chorizo

Preparation

Start by removing the outer membrane from the chorizo.

Removing Membrane from Chorizo

Peel and chop the potatoes into ¼″ cubes.

Diced White Potatoes

Over high heat, brown the chorizo for 1 minute until it starts to release its fat.

Browning Chorizo

Add the chopped potatoes to the pan.

Adding Potatoes to Browned Chorizo

Cook for 15 to 20 minutes stirring occasionally. Be sure that the potato is cooked thoroughly and is lightly browned on the outside. Add salt if needed. This is how it should look.

    Article body says “1/2 pound chorizo”. Recipe says 1/4…

    It’s got to be 1/2 —or more, if you like chorizo
