Guacamole is often more affordable and flavorful.

Cube half an onion into small pieces and transfer to a plate.

Dice 2 tomatoes and transfer to the plate.

Wash 4 potatoes, peel them, and cube them into small pieces, transferring to a plate with water to prevent browning.

In a pot, add 1 pound of pork chorizo, the diced onion, and diced tomato, and cook over medium heat until everything is incorporated.

Cover the pot and let it simmer, stirring occasionally until the tomato is almost disappearing and everything is mushy.

Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and mix well with the chorizo, onion, and tomato.

Add 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, half a tablespoon of black pepper, and salt to taste, then incorporate everything again.

Cook for about 5 minutes, ensuring the potatoes remain al dente and not mushy, stirring occasionally.

Cover and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, checking the potatoes for doneness.

Once the potatoes are al dente, prepare to fry the tortillas by preheating vegetable oil until hot.

Fry the tortillas until golden brown, then place them on a plate lined with napkins to absorb excess oil.

Assemble the tostadas by adding sour cream on top and serving with roasted green tomato salsa.
