Introducing a delicious and convenient recipe tailor-made for those bustling work nights: Chorizo and Manchego Tortillas with Fresh Salsa. Packed with vibrant flavours and easy to make, this dish offers a satisfying meal without sacrificing precious time. Tender cubes of potato and savoury chorizo mingle with the sharp tang of Manchego melted cheese, all wrapped snugly in a flour tortilla. Accompanied by a zesty salsa bursting with the freshness of tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro, this recipe is a sure fire hit for busy evenings when you crave something both quick and flavourful. Let's dive into the steps to create this mouth-watering delight.
To make this recipe, cut the potatoes in equal-size chunks, boil until soft. In a bowl, mix chopped tomatoes, sliced red onion, and coriander leaves, then add lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and sugar to taste for salsa. In a frying pan, cook chorizo until crisp, set aside, then cook the drained potatoes until crisp. Add sliced red onions, chopped red pepper, and crushed garlic to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper cook until soft and then leave to cool a little. Grate the cheese and then layer chorizo, grated cheese, and potato mixture on one half of the tortilla on an oiled baking tray, folding the tortilla in half and sealing the edges and brush it with a little olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes until golden and crisp and the cheese has melted. Serve sliced tortillas with salsa.
Chorizo - we use the thin sliced but you could use any
Cheese - we use manchego but if you don't have any a mild cheddar will do
Peppers - this recipe is better with a milder pepper so we use red but you could use a yellow or orange one
Red onions - you can use any mild flavoured ones
Potatoes - Any type of potato works well
This recipe is perfect all year round it is high in carbs so would probably be more suited to Autumn Winter or early Spring. All the family will love this recipe and its a great Friday night treat. It is super easy to make so makes so is a great midweek meal.
We serve this dish with a fresh tomato salsa, but they are perfect on their own or with a salad we would suggest a green salad or a coleslaw would work perfectly.
This recipe is a great fridge clearer so you can swap out the manchego for a cheese you already have in the fridge such as grated mozzarella and then feel free to add anything else you fancy
You can give this quesadillas recipe a Mexican food twist, by serving it with sour cream and guacamole
