Ingredients

• 2 med red skinned potatoes, cut into 1 inch chunks
• Kosher salt
• 2 tbsp veg oil
• 1 med yellow squash, diced
• Fresh ground pepper
• 8 oz chorizo or other spicy sausage, casings removed

Preparation

Step 1

Put the potatoes in a microwave safe bowl with 1/2 cup of water and season with salt. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the veg oil in a medium skillet over high heat, then add the squash and cook until browned, but still crisp, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. Add the sausage to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until it begins to brown. Add the potatoes and cooking water and cook, tossing, until the potatoes are browned and the sausage is cooked through, 5-6 more minutes. Season with salt.
Combine the tomatoes, scallion, jalapeno and cilantro in a bowl and season with salt.
Warm the tortillas. Fill with the squash and the chorizo mixture and sprinkle with the cheese and salsa. Top with sour cream and/or guacamole.
