3 oz sharp cheddar

3 oz sour cream (3 packets)
coarse salt
olive oil
sugar
freshly ground pepper
Equipment: medium pot
large skillet
box grater
Recipe steps: 1. Cook potatoes

Make salad
Meanwhile, thinly slice cubanelle peppers, discarding stem and seeds, and place in a medium bowl. Slice cucumbers, roughly chop parsley, and add both to bowl. Halve 1 lime and squeeze over vegetables. Add 1 tablespoon oil, ½ teaspoon sugar and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper and toss to combine. -
Make filling
Peel and finely chop onion. Slice chorizo into ¼-inch rounds. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion, chorizo and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until onions are soft and chorizo is golden, 8–10 minutes. -
Finish filling
Add potatoes and 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and cook, tossing often, until potatoes are warm, about 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and continue to cook, scraping up any browned bits, about 1 minute. Grate cheddar on the small holes of a box grater. Stir half of cheddar into potato mixture. Reserve other half for topping. -
Warm tortillas
Preheat broiler with rack 6-inches from heating element. Broil tortillas directly on rack, flipping once, until slightly puffed, about 2 minutes. Wrap in foil or a clean dish towel to keep warm. -
Serve
Fill tortillas with chorizo-potato mixture and top with remaining cheddar. Cut remaining lime into wedges. Serve tacos with sour cream, cucumber and pepper salad, and lime wedges. Enjoy!
