Equipment

measuring spoons
knife set
large bowl
baking sheet

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of high-heat oil divided
2 large Yukon gold potatoes diced into ¼-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
¾ teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
1 medium red onion diced
3 pieces garlic cloves thinly sliced
1 tablespoon of chipotle pepper minced
2 teaspoons of cumin
1 8-ounce package of Nutcase vegan chorizo
2 tablespoons of water
½ Juice of one lime
3 tablespoons of minced cilantro
Corn tortillas
2 avocados sliced
Pico de gallo garnish
Minced cilantro garnish
Lime wedges garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven at 425 degrees F and prepare a sheet pan with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add the diced potatoes, one tablespoon of oil, salt, and garlic powder. Toss and transfer to a sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are baking, in a large pan, heat one tablespoon of oil, add the onion and cook on medium heat for 3 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the chipotle pepper and cumin, mix well and cook for 1 minute.
Add the chorizo and break it up with a spoon. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors and cook for 4-6 minutes.
Turn off the heat, add water, lime juice, cilantro, and baked potatoes. Mix well and serve over warm corn tortillas. Add a slice of avocado, pico de gallo, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve hot.

Notes

If you want to make a spicier version of this dish, you can add chili flakes or chili powder to the filling. You can also serve it with a dash of hot sauce on top.

Warm the tortillas in a pan or skillet for 30-40 seconds per side to add more flavor and a bit of crunch!

Make sure that the potatoes are diced evenly so they bake equally crisp on the outside and tender inside.

This dish is best served hot! If you are planning to bring them to a picnic or on the go, place them in lunchboxes, and wrap them in foil to keep them fresh and hot longer.
