Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Dice potato into 1/4-inch cubes. Remove chorizo from casing if link, crumble, and cook in a large skillet over medium-high, breaking it up as it browns, ~5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add potatoes to the skillet, stir to coat with chorizo fat, and cook until potatoes soften, ~8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    While filling cooks, remove stems and seeds from guajillo chiles. Place in a bowl, cover with hot water, and let soak 4 minutes until softened.

  4. Step 4

    Drain guajillos, blend with 1/2 cup soaking water and 1 tsp salt until smooth. Strain through a sieve into a shallow dish.

  5. Step 5

    Slice bolillo rolls horizontally and fill each with chorizo-potato mixture. Dip both cut sides of each sandwich into guajillo sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Wipe out skillet, add 2 tbsp oil, and heat until shimmering. Place sandwiches cut-side down and fry until golden and crispy, ~2 minutes per side.

  7. Step 7

    Top with pickled onions and cilantro. Serve alongside warm consomé for dunking and lime wedges on the side.
