Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz Mexican chorizo sausage, casing removed
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of oil (if necessary)
- ½ lb baby yellow potatoes, diced
- Kosher salt and ground pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
- 1 4oz can chopped green chiles, drained well
- ½ cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 eggs
- 1 avocado, diced, for topping
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish
- Salsa, for topping
Instructions
-
Cook the Chorizo:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until it’s browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Once done, remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside.
-
Sauté Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped red bell pepper and onion. Cook in the chorizo grease until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes. If needed, remove excess grease with a slotted spoon and set aside the cooked vegetables with the chorizo.
-
Crisp the Potatoes:
- If there isn’t enough grease left in the pan, add a tablespoon of oil. Add the diced baby yellow potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook. Stir occasionally until the potatoes are golden and crisp.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Return the chorizo and vegetables to the skillet with a slotted spoon, adding the drained green chiles. Stir well and continue cooking until the potatoes are tender, about 5-10 more minutes.
-
Add Cheese:
- Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese over the mixture and stir until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.
-
Cook the Eggs:
- Make two wells in the potato mixture and crack an egg into each. Season with a bit more salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, approximately 4-5 minutes.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Top with salsa, diced avocado, and sprinkle with fresh chives. Serve the skillet hot, directly from the pan for a hearty and flavorful breakfast.
