by

A delicious and hearty Mexican-inspired breakfast skillet, perfect for a weekend brunch or a special morning treat. Packed with flavors, this dish combines classic breakfast ingredients with a Mexican twist, including chorizo, black beans, and fresh vegetables, all topped with eggs and melted cheese.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz chorizo sausage, casing removed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Salsa, for serving
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • Tortillas, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chorizo: In a large oven-safe skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the black beans, corn, cumin, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir to combine, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Return Chorizo: Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet and mix it in with the vegetables.
  5. Add the Eggs: Make four small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  6. Bake the Skillet: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with sliced avocado, salsa, lime wedges, and warm tortillas on the side.
