Ingredients

Ingredients for the Huevos Rancheros

  • 1/2 lb Chorizo
  • 1/2 medium White onion (chopped)
  • 2 lb Potatoes (sliced thin)
  • 1 medium Jalapeno (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Adobo seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 3/4 cup Fresh tomatillo salsa (~1/2 the recipe)

Garnishes for serving

  • Avocado (sliced)
  • Lime wedges
  • Fresh cilantro (chopped)
US Customary - Metric

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook for about 10 minutes, until browned and cooked through.

  3. Meanwhile, wash and cut the potatoes into thin slices (I used a mandolin), and chop the onion, pepper, and garlic.

  4. Season potatoes with mixed herb and Adobo seasonings.

  5. Once the chorizo is browned, leave the fat in the pan and add the onions and jalapeno, and cook over medium-low heat until softened.

  6. Add potatoes, garlic and a tablespoon of olive oil. Turn up the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are crispy. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. If your potatoes aren't quite tender, turn the heat up to high, add about 1/8 cup of water to the pan, and cover to steam. Then, place in the oven to brown for a few minutes.

  8. Fry or scramble your eggs to your liking. (I recommend sunny side up with a runny yolk!)

  9. Top the chorizo/potato mixture with the fried eggs, tomatillo salsa, cilantro, lime, and avocado for serving.

Recipe Notes

Serving Size: 1/4 entire recipe

Note: The original recipe was made with feta cheese, which has been removed to make these paleo huevos rancheros. You can still see the feta in the older pics. If you can tolerate a little dairy, feel free to sprinkle with feta before baking.
