fat
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or Monterey Jack, for topping)
1 large Avocado (sliced or diced, for garnish)
0.25 cup Cilantro (freshly chopped, for garnish)
0.5 cup Salsa (for serving, optional)
0.5 cup Sour Cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions
1
Crisp the Potatoes
Heat vegetable oil in a large 12-inch non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced potatoes in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides and tender inside.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked potatoes to a plate and set aside.
2
Cook Chorizo and Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the Mexican chorizo. Cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break it into small crumbles. Cook until it's browned and fully cooked through.
Tilt the pan and spoon out most of the excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet for flavor.
Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the chorizo. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables soften and become translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
3
Scramble the Eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper until they are light and frothy.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the chorizo mixture. Let them set for about 30 seconds before you start scrambling.
Gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center with a spatula, creating soft curds. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set. Avoid overcooking.
4
Combine and Serve
Gently fold the crispy potatoes back into the skillet with the chorizo and egg mixture. Stir just until everything is combined and heated through.
Divide the mixture evenly among four serving bowls.
Garnish each bowl with shredded cheese, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with salsa and sour cream on the side, if desired.
