Ingredients

• 8 oz chorizo sausage, casings removed
• 4 cups russet potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 1 medium bell pepper (red, green, or yellow), diced
• 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely minced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp oil (vegetable or olive)
• 4 large eggs (optional, for topping)
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Remove from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil if needed, then add the diced potatoes. Cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender. Remove the potatoes and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then sauté the diced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the cooked chorizo and potatoes to the skillet. Add the black beans and toss everything together to combine. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and well seasoned.

Step 6

If serving with eggs, cook them to your liking while the hash finishes. Fried eggs or sunny-side-up eggs pair particularly well.

Step 7

Once the hash is ready, transfer it to serving plates or a large serving dish. Top with eggs, if using, and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for a burst of fresh flavor.
