Make
- If potatoes were not made ahead on Monday, heat oven to 500F / 260C. Toss potatoes with cooking oil (portion for potatoes), paprika, and some salt and pepper. Spread out on a sheet pan. Cover tightly with foil and transfer to the oven. Steam potatoes for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 425F / 218C. Remove foil from potatoes and shake the pan. Continue roasting, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, until potatoes are tender, 15 to 25 minutes more.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil (portion for tacos) and then chorizo. Saute until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain off excess oil.
- Add potatoes to chorizo and saute until potatoes are heated through.
- Toss together lettuce, oranges, and pepitas. Add vinaigrette until dressed to your liking.
- Serve chorizo / sweet potatoes with avocados and chives. Squeeze lime juice over top. Enjoy with salad on the side.

Delicious! I added tomatoes to the tacos. Cotija cheese would be good too. I love the citrus and pepitas in the salad. Simple and delicious meal!
0 HelpfulThis was awesome. Came together really quickly thanks to the potatoes having been roasted earlier in the week. I was a little dubious of potatoes in tacos, but all the flavors melded really well. We added some pickled onions, radishes, and carrots that were leftover from the weekend.
0 HelpfulThis was good. Nothing super special. Wish there were suggestions on what to substitute for the tortillas. They’re so filling and I feel like I’m eating tortillas with a mild flavoring of whatever’s inside it.
0 HelpfulSubstituted Mexican veggie sausage for the soyrizo, which turned out super spicy but still delicious (glad we had sour cream and avocado, though!). Very filling and low fuss. Great for a weeknight.
0 HelpfulThe tacos were really good, and I liked the freshness of the salad paired with them. Looking forward to trying these again as breakfast tacos like so many commenters suggested!
