Try and say that 3 times fast :) Now, we eat tacos at LEAST once a week and Mexican food about three times a week. Kyle loves chorizo and I love potatoes so I knew this would be a match made in "cielo". We love coming up with recipes that are inexpensive and we aim to make them as simple as possible. This recipe definitely falls in that category. The most time consuming part was dicing the potatoes! The BEST part about the chorizo pappas is that we added some scrambled eggs to the mix in the morning and had our very own breakfast tacos.
