Test Kitchen Tip
Soy chorizo is a soy-based sausage that’s a little spicy. You can find it at Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and most grocery or health food stores.
Instructions
For the salsa, pulse tomatillos, ½ cup onion, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, and 1 Tbsp. cilantro in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Add avocado, pulse until smooth, then season with salt and pepper.
For the tacos, boil potatoes in a pot of salted water, 5 minutes. Drain potatoes; set aside to cool.
Coat both sides of tortillas with nonstick spray. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium and cook tortillas until light brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drape tortillas over a foil-wrapped rolling pin or wine bottle to shape.
Cook chorizo in same skillet over medium heat, crushing with a potato masher until cooked through, about 5 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Heat oil in same skillet over medium. Add potatoes and 1 cup onions; cook until brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in chorizo and mash to desired consistency; season with salt and pepper.
Divide chorizo mixture among tortillas and top with salsa, chopped cilantro, and queso fresco.
To shape into taco shells, drape tortillas, in a single layer, over a foil-wrapped rolling pin or wine bottle.
Finish cooking boiled potatoes with onion in a skillet. Add cooked chorizo and mash into small chunks.
