Recipe for Huevos con Chorizo y Papas


Ingredients

  • 1 lb Mexican chorizo, casings removed
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crumbled queso fresco (for serving)
  • Warm corn tortillas (for serving)
  • Optional: Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  1. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chorizo from skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
  2. In the same skillet, add onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeño (if using), and cook for another minute.
  3. Add diced potatoes to the skillet, season with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Once the potatoes are done, make 8 small wells in the potato mixture and carefully pour an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Top the eggs with the reserved chorizo, chopped cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco. Serve with warm corn tortillas on the side.
