Happy Labor Day! It’s good to be back in the swing of things after our end-of-summer break. I have a really simple recipe that makes a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner: Chorizo and Collard Tacos. Top with a fried egg, or scramble in some eggs for a great breakfast taco. Roll the chorizo, collard, and potato filling in a flour tortilla for a burrito! This is a wonderful filling combination that beckons your creativity. Let’s get to it!

Chorizo and Collard Tacos
Chorizo and Collard Tacos
Start by Browning the diced, frozen potatoes in a large pan over medium-high heat with ¼ cup of vegetable or grapeseed oil. Stir the potatoes occasionally until they are golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
Cut the heat, transfer the potatoes to a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside.
Next, in the now-empty pan, brown the chorizo over medium heat. Then add the chopped collard greens and stir them into the chorizo. Cook until the greens are wilted.
Now, stir the potatoes into the collards and chorizo. Then cut the heat. Set the pan aside and warm your tortillas in a separate pan. Flip them every 20 seconds or so until they are warm and pliable.
Fill the warm tortillas with the filling. Top with queso fresco, chopped onions and chopped cilantro.
Use whatever size of tortilla you like, I have the tiny street-style taco tortillas. These tacos are absolutely delicious – the contrast and variety of the texture is so satisfying, with the crunchy exteriors of the potatoes and their fluffy potato center. The robust savoriness of the chorizo beautifully seasons the filling without any added salt or other seasoning. The queso fresco adds a cool, salty richness (you can use feta instead) and a dash or two of vinegary Tabasco sauce provides the perfect balance.
Definitely give these Chorizo and Collard Tacos a try, I am sure you will enjoy them! Take care and be well., xo Kelly
