TACOS WITH CHORIZO AND GARLIC POTATOS

Love love love tacos, these lip smacking face stuffing little wraps are gorgeous, one of my favourite fillings is crispy pan fried garlic potatoes with chorizo, loaded with avocado, sour cream, fresh chillies and salad.

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE WHITE CORN TACOS

1/2 cup white corn flour (ma se ca) 

1/3 cup water

FILLING

1 cooking chorizo

2 King Edward potatoes 

6 cloves garlic

pinch of salt

pinch of black pepper

1 avocado

1 lime

mixed salad or iceberg leaves

baby plum tomatoes

1 pepper diced

2 red chillies

100g grated cheddar

ooil 

knob of butter

Peel the potatoes and dice quite small, pan fry in a dash of ooil and butter for 10 minutes, add the sliced garlic and chorizo, cook for a further 5 minutes until the potatoes are soft, season.  Place in bowls.

Scoop out the avocado and roughly mash, season with a little salt and give a squeeze of fresh lime and sprinkle over some chopped red chillies, place in a bowl.

Chop the plum tomatoes, season with salt and mix with the diced pepper and chilles, shred the iceberg lettuce, grate the cheese and place all the toppings in bowls on your table.  

Fabulous tip I learnt from Jamie Oliver on how to make the quick taco holder show above, take a 1 meter length of tin foil and a tea towel rolled up long ways.  Wrap the tin foil around the tea towel, then concertina the foil so you end up with a zig zag taco holder, perfect, fun and free!

TO MAKE YOUR TACOS

Mix the corn flour with the water and bring to a ball.  Pull off golf ball sizes of the dough and with clingfilm roll out or using a tortilla press make your tacos.  Heat a comel or non stick pan and cook the tacos for approx 60 seconds on each side, keep warm in a tortilla warmer or warm tea towel, serve stuff and serve straight away.

Really quick and easy to make your own corn tacos, homemade tacos have a vibrant fresh corn flavour that you only get with making your own, they only take minutes from start to finish.

A comel is the traditional equipment used to cook tacos, or fajitas, it allows the taco to catch a little adding authentic flavour.
