Chorizo Tacos

Ok- Adam wanted me to share this one. He made it. Found in at a Rick Bayless website.

Ingredients:
8 ounces (1 cup) Mexican chorizo sausage
3 medium (3/4 pound) red potatoes
Salt
2 medium poblano chiles roasted
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (I think you could get by with a little less)
1 small onion

Condiments
salsa
guacamole
sour cream
cheese
cilantro

Cook chorizo in large skillet. Break it up as it throughly cooks. If there's a lot of fat, drain it off. Remove chorizo from the skillet.
Cut potatoes in half, then cut each half into 4 pieces. Place potato pieces in non-metal bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high power for 4 to 5 minutes, until completely tender.
Pour oil into skillet and heat over medium heat. Add sliced onion and stir regularly. Cook for 2 minutes until onions are translucent.
Add potatoes and cook. Stir regularly and cook for 5 minutes until browned.
Stir in chiles and chorizo. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes more. Taste and season with salt if necessary (Although I've never needed to salt this recipe because there's plenty of seasoning in the chorizo.)
Keep warm over very low heat.

Serve: Heat corn tortillas according to directions on the package. Serve with your choice of condiments. I usually keep this taco very simple as you can see in the pictures. I usually only eat it with a little cilantro and maybe some guacamole.

Hope you like it :)
