Ingredients

1 1/2 Tbsp.
olive oil, divided
1 lb.
fresh Mexican chorizo, casings discard, crumbled into small pieces
1 1/4 lb.
russet potatoes (2 medium), cut into 1/4-in. pieces
1/2
large white onion, finely chopped and divided
8
small corn tortillas, warmed
1/2 cup
salsa verde, for serving

Directions

1. Step 1Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large cast-iron skillet on medium-high. Add chorizo and cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, 3 minutes. Continue to cook, breaking up into very small pieces and adjusting heat if burning, until very crisp and brown, 6 to 8 minutes more. Using slotted spoon, transfer to bowl and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat.
2. Step 2While chorizo cooks, in large bowl, microwave potatoes, covered with damp paper towel, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Step 3Add cooked potatoes to skillet, arrange in single layer, and cook, stirring every few minutes, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add all but 1/3 cup onion and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, tossing every minute or so, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Step 4Return chorizo to skillet and toss to combine. Spoon chorizo-potato mixture into tortillas; top with salsa verde and remaining 1/3 cup white onion.
