Description

Taco night just got a lot more exciting with these Chorizo Tacos with Salsa Verde! Corn tortillas are filled with a delicious chorizo and potato mixture, then topped with salsa verde, cilantro, and cotija cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 pound yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced into half-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup diced white onion
  • 1 poblano pepper, diced

  • 8 corn tortillas, warmed
  • 1/2 cup salsa verde, homemade or store-bought 
  • salt and pepper, to taste
