Ingredients

  • 8 oz gluten
  • free chorizo sausage
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 avocado

  5. In a separate bowl, prepare the avocado crema by mashing the ripe avocado with sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt.
  6. In another non stick skillet or in the microwave, cook the eggs to your desired preference.
  7. Plate the chorizo breakfast hash, top with a dollop of avocado crema, and place the cooked eggs on the side. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
