Cilantro Avocado Crema

Pickled Fresno

Method

Main Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    While the chorizo is cooking, peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in salted water for about 10-12 minutes until fork-tender, then drain.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a separate pan, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and chop into small pieces.

Cilantro Avocado Crema Preparation

  1. 4

    Blend the Crema

    In a blender, combine the avocado, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and sour cream. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

Pickling Fresno

  1. 5

    Prepare the Pickled Fresno

    Slice the Fresno chilies into rings and place them in a jar. In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then pour over the chilies in the jar. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine and Serve

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked chorizo, potatoes, and bacon. Mix well. Serve topped with cilantro avocado crema and pickled Fresno chilies.
