Make the sauce. Add the guajillo chiles, árbol chiles, and enough water to completely cover them in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let the chiles soak for 10 minutes to soften.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the softened chiles to a blender. Add ½ cup fresh water, the tomato, garlic, onion, and salt. Blend until completely smooth. If the sauce is not smooth, strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Make the filling. Add the diced potatoes and enough water to completely cover them in a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through. They should be tender and easily pricked with a fork. Carefully drain the water and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking it up into chunks and stirring occasionally until fully cooked through.

Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and lightly stir to combine. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, remove from heat, and set aside.

Fry the telera bread. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush a generous amount of the chile sauce all over the top and bottom crust of the telera bread. Place it in the hot oil crust side down and fry for 1 minute, until crispy. Flip and fry the inside of the bread for 1 more minute until crispy. Repeat this process with the remaining bread rolls, adding more oil when needed.

Assemble the pambazos. Fill the telera bread with a scoop of the papas con chorizo filling, a drizzle of your favorite salsa, some shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of cotija cheese, some pickled red onions, and a little Mexican crema. Serve and enjoy!
