Huevos y Papas con Chorizo (Eggs and Potatoes with Chorizo)

Chorizo is a spicy Mexican sausage. It is usually pork based and can be purchased either mild or hot... I've never found a medium heat that is really medium...

Also - a note:  When I write about "spicy," I'm referring to the SPICE factor, not the HEAT factor... Something can be very spicy without being hot.

Okay. Now that THAT'S out of the way...

This is one of my most favorite breakfast dishes. It is wonderful in flour tortillas or in corn tortillas as breakfast taquitos with shredded cheddar cheese added for a mild zip!
You will need the following ingredients and tools for this dish:

A large non-stick pan
1 Large Potato (diced)
1 Tblspn Olive Oil (Extra Virgin Organic)
4 Eggs
1 Medium Onion (chopped)
1 tspn Garlic (minced)
2 Links of Chorizo

Get out all of your ingredients and have them at the ready. I like to put the eggs, onion, diced potato, and garlic close to the pan. As in most of the recipes, this process goes rather quickly. Once it's all at hand, preheat your pan.

While your pan is getting ready, remove the casing from the Chorizo.

                     

As soon as the Chorizo softens a bit, move to one side of the pan. Add the olive oil and diced potatoes. Cook the potatoes until you see them start to  brown...

                     

Continue cooking the potatoes making sure that the rest of the ingredients are close at hand. When the potatoes are ready, start incorporating the Chorizo into the potatoes.

                     

Once the chorizo is incorporated into the potatoes, add the onions and then add the garlic. Combine well. Wait until the onions are slightly translucent.

                     

Once the onions are slightly translucent and the garlic has been incorporated and mixed into the potatoes and chorizo, make a well in the center and place the four eggs into the well. As you cook the eggs, mix them from the inside to the outside until the dish is fully cooked.

                     

You will be rewarded with a hearty flavorful (not to mention colorful) dish that you can garnish with cheddar cheese and eat with tortillas and my delicious Mexican Coffee.

This dish is very filling and should be eaten either early in the day or for brunch.

¡BUEN PROVECHO!
