Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tostadas
- 12 ounces chorizo sausage
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated cotija cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.
Step 2
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 5
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Step 6
Push the onion to one side of the skillet and add the chorizo. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
Step 7
Stir in the garlic and cooked potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
While the filling cooks, warm the tostadas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to crisp them up if needed.
Step 9
Assemble each tostada by spreading a spoonful of sour cream on the base, followed by a generous layer of the chorizo-potato mixture.
Step 10
Top with shredded lettuce, grated cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro.
Step 11
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tostadas just before eating.
