Ingredients
  

Meat

  • 1 lb chorizo or soyrizo

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 poblano pepper chopped
  • 0.5 white onion chopped
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles drained (mild or hot)

Dairy

  • 10 eggs
  • 1.25 cup milk
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheese plus more for the top

Starch

  • 2.5 cups frozen diced potatoes or frozen hashbrowns

Seasoning

  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish/Sides

  • Chunky salsa for serving

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Turn your oven on to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 glass pan with cooking spray.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add your chorizo once it's hot. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until little to no liquid remains. Transfer to a bowl lined with a paper towel and set aside.
  • Add the bell pepper, poblano pepper and white onion to the same pan and cook until just tender (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside once done.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in your green chiles.
  • Layer the prepared pan with frozen diced potatoes, chorizo, pepper and onion mixture and shredded cheese.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring it covers most ingredients. Sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired. Bake for 40-45 minutes until cheese is melted and eggs are cooked through.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, cut, and serve with sliced avocado and your favorite salsa.

Notes

Green bell pepper can be used instead of poblano pepper.
