Yeah, I am on a Goan sausage binge. An Indian twist on the Portuguese chorico, Goan sausages are packed with spices and flavors and are a great accompaniment to any dish. After making the Goan Sausage Pulao – a part of every shack and Hotel menu in Goa – I am now trying my hand at making Goan sausage Tacos.
I have been meaning to create some Mexican recipes for a long time. I had been itching to use the Chipotle Chilies that I ordered from Amazon India recently. These spicy sausages just felt right to take the plunge and make some soft tacos with wheat Tortillas or our regular homemade chapattis.
Goan sausage Tacos Ingredients
1 Cup Crumbled Goan Sausage
1 Cup potatoes cubed, parboiled
1/2 Cup Onions
1/2 Cup green bell peppers or capscicum
2 Cups Chopped Iceberg Lettuce
2 Tomatoes, cut in slivers
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp Chipotle chili
4 Eggs, whisked
Salt to taste
4 Wheat Tortillas or Indian Chapatti will do too.
Avocado Dressing Ingredients
1 Medium Avacado
2 cloves of Garlic
Juice of 1 lemon
salt to taste
For the Dressing: Scoop the Avocado and mash along with grated garlic, lemon juice and salt.
How To Make Goan Sausage Tacos
1. Remove the sausage skin and crumble the sausages
2. Heat a wok with 1 tsp oil and add the crumbled sausages to the wok
3. Fry the sausages until all the fat is rendered and you can see the oil separating
4. Add onions and saute for a couple of minutes
5. Add the Cumin and the crushed Chipotle chili, and then add the capsicum and potatoes
6. Mix well and saute for a couple of minutes
7. Add the whisked egg, turn off the heat and let it stand for a couple of minutes
8. On a wheat Tortilla, arrange the taco filling, add the raw tomatoes and lettuce, and top it with the Avocado dressing
9. Fold the Tortillas and serve
Hunh, this is the most difficult part. To write about something so delicious, if I may say so myself, a day later and not have any leftovers to eat :(
Now this movie is one of my all time favorites. Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek have an amazing on-screen chemistry as they run from Bucho. A sequel to El Mariachi, the movie is full of action and gunfights that will keep you glued to yoru screens.
Desperado
Director: Robert Rodriguez
Stars: Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Joaquim de Almeida
Not to forget some amazing music as the movie soundtrack boasts a number of hits by Los Lobos. My favorite, of course, is the one sung by Antonio Baderas himself – Canción del Mariachi, which goes like this.
