Potato And Green Chile Tacos Recipes

GREEN CHILE BEEF TACOS

Steps:

• Lay the chuck roast into the bottom of a slow cooker with a tight-fitting lid. Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the beef. Pour the green salsa over the beef, followed by the beef broth.
• Cook on Low for 4 hours. Add more beef broth if needed. Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker; mix with the liquid. Serve hot.

PORK AND GREEN CHILE TACOS

Steps:

• Put olive oil in a wide deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry pork until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove pork with slotted spoon, leaving fat in pan.
• Add onion to pan, season with salt and pepper and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, coriander, bay leaf and tomato. Return pork to skillet. Add tomatillos and green chile. Stir well. Add 4 cups water and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a brisk simmer and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until meat is tender and sauce has thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• To serve, warm the tortillas on a hot griddle or cast iron pan over a burner. Put 2 warm tortillas side by side on a small plate. Spoon 2 tablespoons pork mixture onto each taco. Garnish each taco with 1 teaspoon chopped onion, 2 to 3 jalapeño slices, a pinch of oregano and a few cilantro sprigs.

POTATO AND GREEN CHILE TACOS

Steps:

• 1. Cook the potatoes in water to cover until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Peel the potatoes and finely dice or chop them. Put in a bowl. Cut the chiles into short thin strips (1/4 × 1 inch). Add to the bowl of potatoes. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and cook the onion until it starts to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the potatoes, chiles, salt, and oregano. Cook, stirring, until completely heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes. 2. Heat a medium, dry skillet over medium heat and soften the tortillas, 1 at a time, turning until pliable and hot. Cover the heated tortillas with a clean kitchen towel to keep soft and hot. To assemble, spoon about 3 tablespoons of the potato mixture and 1 tablespoon of salsa on half of each tortilla. Fold in half. Serve at once. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix oil with oregano and cumin. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. To the skillet add 2 tablespoons of the seasoned oil, half of the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and is lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer chicken to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and remaining chicken to the skillet and repeat.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion and bell pepper to the empty skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add green chiles, broth and chicken (along with any accumulated juices) and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the liquid is absorbed, the mixture is thick and the chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
• Divide the chicken mixture among the tortillas. Top with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, avocado, sour cream and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

POTATO AND GREEN CHILE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat until melted. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in potatoes and cook for 1 minute.
• Sprinkle in flour and stir until smooth. Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously, until browned but not burned. Slowly pour in broth and stir until well incorporated; bring to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring every 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Be sure the soup does not boil.
• Stir in chile peppers, milk, cumin, oregano, and salt. Bring to a simmer, then immediately remove from heat; do not allow to boil. Add Monterey Jack cheese and Cheddar cheese; stir until melted. Season with pepper and serve.
