Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chorizo (homemade recipe here)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pound red potatoes, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1/2 red pepper, diced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional for serving: 2-3 green onions, salsa, avocado

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil and diced potatoes. Season with the garlic and chili powder. Cook the potatoes just until they begin to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. And then add in the remaining vegetables and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
  2. Next, push the vegetables to the side and add the ground chorizo to the open space. Break apart and incorporate it into the vegetables. Cook another 8-10 minutes, or until the chorizo and potatoes are cooked through.
  3. Remove from heat. Serve with green onions, salsa, hot sauce, avocado/guacamole or an egg if desired.

Notes

  • You can also boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender (but not fully cooked), drain and set aside to cool. Then dice them and add them in with the onions and peppers in step 2. This is a good option if you want to prep the potatoes ahead of time, such as the night before, and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • You can substitute the potatoes for 1-1.5 cups of broccoli.
  • For a spicer breakfast skillet, add a 4 oz. can of diced green chiles in with the vegetables.
  • Keeps in the fridge for 4 days.
