Instructions
To begin, peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, then set aside. Repeat this process with the onion, also dicing it into small pieces. In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes with enough water to cover them and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to let simmer for at least 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Once cooked, set aside the potatoes.
Next, preheat an oil-filled skillet over medium heat, adding the diced onion to cook until translucent. Remove the soyrizo from its outer casing and add it to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks for approximately 8 minutes. Finally, combine the cooked potatoes with the soyrizo mixture in the skillet, stirring and cooking for an additional 3 minutes before serving. Serve warm tortillas topped with the flavorful soyrizo potato mixture and enjoy!
