Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb fresh chorizo, casings removed
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add diced potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and crispy, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet, add the chorizo to the empty side, and cook for about 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  4. Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Create small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle with smoked paprika and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy hot!

Notes

Tip: Customize the veggies by adding mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrients!

For a milder version, use sweet Italian sausage instead of chorizo. If you prefer more heat, add extra chili flakes or fresh jalapeños. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet over medium heat for best results. This skillet also works great as a filling for breakfast burritos!
