Ingredients
4 cups (500) grams Home Fries or store bought
1 pound chorizo sausage* chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1-2 tablespoons (1/2-1 ounce) butter or oil for frying
1/2 (75 grams) a red bell pepper diced (or other color)
1/2 (90 grams) an onion diced
1 jalapeno seeded and diced
1/2 can (125 grams) canned corn drained
1/2 can (130 grams) black beans drained and rinsed
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon blackened seasoning*
1 1/2 - 2 cups (125-165 grams) Pepper Jack Cheese* shredded
1/2 cup (130 grams) sour cream optional
2 tablespoons (35 grams) chipotle aioli optional
Instructions
- Bake the Home Fries according to the linked recipe or package directions if using store-bought.
- While the home fries bake, stir together the sour cream and chipotle aioli in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Slice the sausage into 1/2 inch pieces. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage until browned and cooked through.* Remove from the pan and drain any excess grease.
- Seed and dice the jalapeño, onion and bell pepper. In the same skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter (if needed or use a little of the reserved sausage grease). Add the vegetables and cook until the onions are tender and translucent, keeping the peppers slightly firm.
- Stir in the corn and drained black beans. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Crack in the eggs directly into the skillet. Stir frequently until soft curds form and the eggs are just set. Sprinkle in the blackened seasoning and gently stir to combine. Remove the mixture from the skillet.
- To assemble, spread a generous layer of home fries across the bottom of the skillet. Evenly distribute the sausage over the fries, then spoon the vegetable and egg mixture on top. Finish with an even layer of shredded cheese.
- Place the skillet over medium heat and cover until the cheese is melted. Alternatively, broil uncovered until melted and lightly bubbly, watching closely to prevent burning. Remove from the heat.
- Serve hot with salsa and chipotle sour cream, if desired.

Notes
You can use any breakfast sausage you prefer and can use ground meat or links that are sliced.
You can substitute the blackened seasoning with chili powder, garlic powder, paprika and salt and pepper.
Any variety of soft, melty cheese will work such as Cheddar, Monterey Jack or Colby Jack.
USDA recommends that all sausage and ground meats be cooked to an internal temperature of 160-165°F depending on the type of meat. Always cook your meat to safe internal temperatures.
