Ingredients
  

For the Chorizo

  • 1 lb 80/20 ground beef or chuck, pork, or turkey will work too
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika (I used smoked)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

For the Refried Beans

  • See the link below or
  • 1 can your favorite refried beans

For the Eggs and Chorizo

  • 1 lb chorizo
  • 6-8 extra large eggs, beaten
  • grated cheddar cheese (optional)

For the Hashbrowns

  • 1 20 OZ PKG Simply Potato Brand Hashbrowns, or your favorite homemade hashbrowns

Heated Corn or Flour Tortillas for serving

    Instructions
     

    For the Chorizo:

    • Combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, garlic powder, coriander, oregano, red pepper flakes, ground cloves and black pepper in mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
      Add cider vinegar and stir until dry ingredients are moistened.
      Add ground meat and knead until spice mixture is well incorporated into the meat.
      You can use the chorizo immediately, but for best flavor development, place chorizo mixture in an airtight container and store overnight in fridge.
      If I'm only using a portion, I divide in freezer bags and store for the next use.

    To make the breakfast:

    • Brown your hashbrowns in a skillet with a little oil until lightly browned. Heat your refried beans in a saucepan.
    • Break your eggs into a bowl and whisk to combine. Brown your chorizo in a skillet with a little oil. When done, lightly browned, add your eggs and cook over medium high heat until the eggs are cooked through and set, like making scrambled eggs. Add grated cheese if you desire.
    • Serve in a plate with the hashbrowns and refried beans with plenty of corn or flour tortillas to scoop it up and eat it with! Have plenty of salsa on hand and avocado or guacamole if desired. Enjoy!
