Equipment

Large 12-inch Skillet or Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients

1 lbs. Chorizo (pork)
1 Green Bell Pepper (diced)
1 Onion (diced)
2 Jalapeno Peppers (cleaned and finely chopped)
1 Can Diced Tomatoes (fire roasted) (do not drain)
1⅓ lbs. Yukon Gold Potato (peeled and cubed)(boiled 10 minutes)
8 Eggs
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the pork chorizo until it's browned and cooked through.
Boil the potatoes in a separate pot of boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
.Add the diced green bell pepper, diced onion, and finely chopped jalapeño peppers to the skillet. Sauté and stir with a wooden spoon until the vegetables are tender and aromatic.
Stir in the undrained fire-roasted diced tomatoes, allowing the flavors to meld with the chorizo and vegetables.
Incorporate the pre-boiled Yukon Gold potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated with the flavorful mixture.
Sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and stir to incorporate.
Lower the heat to medium heat, create wells in the skillet, and crack the raw eggs into them. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook to your preferred level of doneness.
Season the entire skillet with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and green onions. Some skillet topping options include sliced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, sprinkled with queso fresco, and avocado slices.
Once the eggs are cooked to perfection, serve hot, making sure to scoop up a little bit of everything in each bite. Enjoy your delicious and hearty breakfast!
