Chorizo Tostadas with Cabbage Slaw
This little number is from Susie Jimenez, who was the runner-up on a recent season of Food Network Star. Susie is kind enough to join the Sporting Friends team this season on The Sporting Chef show.
Here’s her Chorizo Tostadas where she used elk as the wild game to make the chorizo sausage. And of course, we used Hi-Mountain Seasonings Chorizo blend for our seasoning. Couldn’t be any easier. Enjoy.
