Ingredients
  • 1 medium, diced Sweet Potato
  • 4 oz, removed from casings and crumbled Whole30 Compliant Chorizo
  • 1/2 , diced Onion
  • 1/2 , diced Red Bell Pepper
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper
  • to taste , chopped for garnish Fresh Cilantro (optional)

Prepare the Sweet Potato

Dice the sweet potato into small, even pieces. This will ensure it cooks evenly.

Cook the Hash Base

Heat the olive oil or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the crumbled Whole30 compliant chorizo and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Add Sweet Potato and Seasonings

Add the diced sweet potato to the skillet. Stir in the chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is tender, about 15-20 minutes. You may need to add a tablespoon or two of water to the skillet to prevent the sweet potato from sticking.

Fry the Eggs

While the sweet potato is cooking, fry the eggs to your desired doneness. You can fry them in a separate pan with a little olive oil or coconut oil.

Assemble and Serve

Divide the sweet potato and chorizo hash between plates. Top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
