New territory for Shells...Chorizo & Potato tacos!

So I branched out last night and took a chance on a new recipe that I have never tried as well as hitting on the type of food I don't ever cook.   Tom lived in Mexico for 6 months and can cook amazing Mexican food...but Tom is traveling so why not give a try.  I found a recipe on Food and Wine that I thought look interesting.  Tom actually makes a great Chorizo from a Bon Appetit recipe but this was a bit different with the addition of potatoes.  Here is the link to the recipe:

I followed the recipe except for a few small changes.  I used ground turkey instead of ground pork and I substituted roasted garlic for the mince garlic.  I was hungry while in Whole Foods and found a container of already roasted garlic technically made for pasta adds.  I'm a sucker for whole roasted garlic so I thought it might fun to add to my meals this week...and plus Tom isn't around to smell my breath so it is all good!  PS I used tonight with my sauteed vegetables (squash & asparagus). YUMMY.

First pic is the cooking of the potato and the pork mixture.  The recipe calls for two skillets and I highly suggest following that point.  It was a bit tight and took a bit longer to cook.

Overall I think this was a very good recipe if you appreciate the additional texture of potato.  I served with a chopped salad, salsa, cheese and tortillas.  Here are a few pictures of the final product:  

I enjoyed not following the recipe exactly.  I'm the baker in the family so for those of you who bake you will understand the challenge that comes with being open for changing it up and not following the "rules"!
