Get ready! Because this chorizo and potato flatbread sandwich is going to be a hit.
Summer is just around the corner and that means more trips with the kids to the beach and excursions to the parks near our house. Summer is the perfect excuse to take our quilts and throw them down on the grass or sand and have a yummy picnic. I think sandwiches are wonderful for lunch or picnics, because they are easy to make and they transport easily. But beyond that, you can fill them with almost anything and they're neat and tidy, well, most of the time and in the right hands.
For this occasion, I wanted to create a sandwich featuring one of my family's favorite flavor combinations, papas con chorizo, or chorizo with potatoes. You cannot go wrong with it. It smells so incredibly delicious and it is very satisfying. I was preparing the chorizo a couple of days ago when my kids and husband walked in the door. Every single one of them came into the kitchen, it was very hard to keep them away from it before I was finished!

I like using pork chorizo in this recipe, but you can use beef chorizo, or even soy chorizo, if you want to go meatless.
Here is the recipe:
