In a separate pot, boil salted water and cook the potatoes for about 3-4 minutes.

4

Add the cooked potatoes to the chorizo in the pan and stir to mix them together.

5

Cook the chorizo and potato mixture on low heat for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the potatoes to get some color.

Prepare fresh tortillas by cooking them in a pan over high heat for about 15-20 seconds on each side to toast them and bring out some brown color.

Scoop the chorizo and potato mixture from the bottom of the pan where the crispy bits are and place it onto the tortillas.
