Chorizo, Mushroom and Potato Tacos

From Foothills Market

<p>&#8220;When I think of quick, savory satisfaction in Mexico, chorizo &#8211; like bacon in the States &#8211; usually comes to mind.&#8221; &#8211; Rick Bayless</p>

Serves: 4 servings


Ingredients
12 oz Chorizo
1 Tbsp Vegetable oil
1 Medium onion, sliced 1/4" thick
3 Medium potatoes, grated
6 oz Mushrooms (shitake or oyster), sliced
1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped
12 Corn tortillas, warmed
Roasted Tomatillo Salsa or Guacamole

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Cook chorizo in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently and breaking up clumps, until it looks half-cooked, about 4 minutes.
  2. Increase the heat to medium-high. If the chorizo hasn't rendered fat, add 1 Tbsp oil to the skillet. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook, stirring almost constantly, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle the grated potatoes over the mixture. Cook, continuing to stir frequently, until the potatoes are soft, about 5 minutes. If the potatoes begin to brown before they are soft, reduce heat. Taste and season with salt if needed.
  4. Place the mixture in a bowl and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with warm tortillas and salsa.
