A simple budget friendly recipe for a one pan skillet meal with Mexican style chorizo, potatoes, jalapenos and feta. This dish is delicious served with eggs, in tacos, or as a simple side.
Servings: 4 cups
cups
Ingredients
- 1 lb chorizo
- 1 white onion, medium
- 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
- 1 lb russet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½ inch cubes
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup Feta cheese, crumbled, for garnish
- Parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through, about 8-10minutes.
- Add the onion and peppers and cook for another 5 minutes, until the onion is softened. Remove the chorizo mixture from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, leaving the fat in the pan. Season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5minutes until lightly browned.
- Pour in the water, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the water has mostly evaporated.
- Once the water has evaporated, increase the heat to medium and cook for another few minutes, uncovered, to crisp the potatoes further.
- Return the chorizo mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and crumbled Feta cheese.
