Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Potatoes
• 1/2 lb Mexican chorizo
• 1/2 White onion
• 4 Eggs
• 8 Flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup Queso fresco
• 1 cup Salsa roja

Steps

1. Boil the potatoes until just tender, then dice. They finish in the pan — fully cooked now means mushy later.
2. Brown the chorizo, breaking it up, then add the onion and potatoes. Crisp everything 10 minutes, pressing the potatoes into the rendered fat.
3. Push to the sides, scramble the eggs in the center, then fold together.
4. Warm the tortillas so they stay pliable.
5. Serve the papas family-style with tortillas, queso fresco, and salsa roja.
6. Roll into breakfast tacos at the table. The chorizo fat is the flavor — do not drain it.
