Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat.
  2. Add the potato pieces, and once the water returns to a boil, cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Drain.
  3. Place the chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat. As it cooks, use a wooden spoon or spatula to crumble it into smaller pieces.
  4. Once the chorizo begins to brown and crisp, after about 5 to 6 minutes, add the scallions and stir to combine; cook for about 1 minute or until the scallions begin to soften.
  5. Add the cooked potatoes and salt to the skillet, mashing them into the chorizo mixture with a potato masher or a similar tool, for about 1 minute until well combined.
  6. Remove from the heat. Taste, and add salt as needed.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil and vinegar, along with the sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss in lettuce and mix well.
  8. Slice the bread in half, scoop about 1/2 cup of the potato and chorizo mix on top of one piece. Add a couple tablespoons of the dressed lettuce, followed by 2 to 3 slices of avocado and pickled jalapeños on top, and add the top layer of bread. Serve.
