Ingredients
- 6 Telera rolls
- 6 Guajillo chiles
- 1.5 lb Potatoes
- 1/2 lb Mexican chorizo
- 2 cups Lettuce
- 3/4 cup Queso fresco
- 1/3 cup Crema
- 1/2 White onion
- 1/3 cup Vegetable oil
Steps
- Boil the potatoes until tender, then mash coarsely. Brown the chorizo, stir in the potatoes, and cook 5 minutes into a savory filling.
- Blend the soaked guajillos with garlic and a cup of their soaking water into a smooth red chile bath.
- Dunk each roll in the chile sauce, coating it completely — the soaked bread is what makes a pambazo a pambazo.
- Fry the soaked rolls in hot oil 2 minutes per side until the exterior crisps and turns deep red.
- Split and stuff with the potato-chorizo filling.
- Top with lettuce, queso fresco, crema, and onion. Serve hot and messy.
