EasyPrep: 15 minCook: 20 minServes 4Stovetop

Ingredients

  • 3-4 medium potatoes, diced into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 2 chorizo sausages
  • 3-4 eggs
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 white onion, diced
  • Mexican blend shredded cheese
  • Olive oil or avocado oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper

Assembly

  1. 1.Dice your potatoes into small pieces, about 1/4-inch cubes. Dice your peppers and onions to a similar size.
  2. 2.Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat with a generous amount of oil — more than you think you need.
  3. 3.Add the potatoes and let them cook undisturbed until they develop a nice crust on one side, then start tossing them around. Cook until tender and crispy.
  4. 4.While potatoes cook, cut the casing off your chorizo sausages and break the meat into small pieces.
  5. 5.Add the diced peppers and onions to the potatoes (or cook them separately if you prefer). Let them get some color.
  6. 6.Add the chorizo and cook until it's done, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  7. 7.Crack a couple of eggs directly into the pan. Break the yolks and scramble them right into the mix — this incorporates the egg throughout the whole dish.
  8. 8.Once the eggs are set, top with a generous handful of Mexican blend cheese and stir it in.
  9. 9.Serve topped with avocado crema, jalapeno crema, hot sauce, fresh avocado, or whatever you're feeling.

The Story

These are really good because they're completely customizable. My go-to is chorizo, but you can swap in bacon, sausage, or whatever protein you want. The key to the potatoes is cutting them into small pieces — maybe quarter-inch cubes — and letting them sit undisturbed in the pan with a bit more oil than you think so they get a nice crust on one side before you start tossing them around. I crack the eggs directly into the pan and scramble them right in with everything else so it all becomes one incorporated dish.
