Here’s the recipe for a delicious Chorizo Green-Chili Breakfast Skillet, an ideal dish for starting your day with a burst of flavor. This recipe incorporates hearty ingredients and bold spices, perfect for a brunch that’ll wake up your taste buds!


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add Cheese:

    • Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese over the mixture and stir until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

Notes

This Chorizo Green-Chili Breakfast Skillet is not just a meal; it’s an experience. Each bite combines the spiciness of chorizo, the freshness of green chiles, and the creamy texture of avocado, making it a perfect dish for those mornings when you’re craving something special. Enjoy
