Ingredients

• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 pound Chorizo (pork or beef)
• 4 large Green chiles (roasted, peeled, and diced)
• 1 small Onion (finely diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 6 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small, bite-size cubes (about 1/2 inch).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Push the onions and garlic to one side of the skillet and add the chorizo. Break it up with a spoon or spatula and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chorizo is fully cooked and browned.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium-low and stir the roasted green chiles, cooked potatoes, and ground cumin into the chorizo mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine all flavors. Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the burritos by placing an even portion of the potato-chorizo mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream (if using), and a sprinkle of cilantro, if desired.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it tightly into a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or wrap in foil to keep warm for later. Enjoy your flavorful Potato Chorizo and Green Chile Burritos!
