The Spicy Potato Soft Tacos Version

If you’re looking for a way to make your potato taco recipe stand out, you can try adding spicy chorizo. It’s not an extremely spicy ingredient, but it can still be interesting to have several different versions and surprise your guests.

You can also accompany them with one of the many hot sauces we have in Mexico, but make sure they are not too spicy so they don’t hog all the flavor. The sauce is a complement, not the main star.

Your Questions Answered Potato Taco with Chorizo: The Mexican Recipe

What makes Altos Tequila different from other tequilas?

Altos isn’t your average tequila — it’s the real thing. Made from 100% Blue Agave grown in Jalisco’s highlands, slow-cooked, copper-distilled, and created by bartenders who get it. Smooth, bold, and made to mix right.

What’s the best way to drink Altos Tequila?

Any way you want. It’s a winner in a Margarita or Paloma, but it also shines straight up if you’re all about flavour. Whatever the moment, Altos always sets the tone.

Is Altos Tequila made sustainably?

Absolutely — we’re serious about sustainability. We recycle agave fibers, reuse water, and cut down on waste wherever we can. Great tequila, zero guilt.

What’s the difference between Plata, Reposado, and Añejo?

Plata’s crisp and lively, Reposado’s smooth and rounded, and Añejo’s bold, rich, and full of depth. Three styles, one unmistakable Altos spirit.

Can I use Altos in cocktails other than Margaritas?

Of course. Altos steps up in any mix — Palomas, Tequila Sunrises, even an Old Fashioned if you’re in the mood to experiment. If it pours, Altos fits.
