Ingredients
1½ lb chorizo
2 medium potatoes, diced
2 nopales (cactus), cooked with a little water and salt
3 tomatoes
2 jalapeño peppers
1 small piece of onion
1 garlic clove
1 handful of fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil
Instructions
Prepare the sauce: Roast the tomatoes, jalapeños, onion, and garlic until charred. Blend with a little water, salt to taste, and the cilantro for about 6 seconds, so the sauce stays chunky. Set aside.
Cook the potatoes: In a skillet, heat a little oil. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and Spanglish Asadero All Purpose seasoning. Cook over medium heat until tender. Set aside.
Cook the chorizo: In another skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until nicely browned.
Combine everything: Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the chorizo, then add the cooked nopales and the roasted sauce. Mix well, cover, and let simmer for a few minutes so the flavors blend together.
Serve: Once the mixture begins to boil, turn off the heat and enjoy!
