Ingredients
- 8 pieces cassava flour tortillas
- 12 oz fresh Mexican chorizo
- 1 lb yukon gold potatoes
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 pieces avocados
- 2 pieces limes
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 piece jalapeno
- 1/2 piece red onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 4 pieces radishes(optional)
Instructions
- 1
Dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss with 2 tbsp avocado oil, smoked paprika, and half the salt. Roast at 425°F on a sheet pan for 25 minutes, flipping once, until deeply golden and crisp.
- 2
While potatoes roast, make the crema: blend avocados, juice of 1 lime, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, remaining salt, and 1/4 cup water until silky smooth.
- 3
Thinly slice the red onion and soak it in the juice of the remaining lime with a pinch of salt to quick-pickle.
- 4
Brown the chorizo in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart, for 8-10 minutes until crisp at the edges. Drain excess fat, then fold in the roasted potatoes.
- 5
Warm the cassava tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly blistered.
- 6
Assemble: chorizo-potato filling, avocado crema, pickled red onion, and sliced radishes in each tortilla.
