  • ½ white onion, chopped
  • 1 can (4oz) diced green chiles, drained (mild or hot)

Preparation

  • Turn your oven on to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 glass pan with cooking spray.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add your chorizo. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until there's little to no liquid left in the pan. Transfer chorizo to a bowl lined with a paper towel and set aside.
  • Add bell pepper, poblano pepper, and white onion to the same pan and cook until tender (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside once done.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until light and fluffy. Stir in green chiles.
  • Layer prepared pan with frozen diced potatoes, chorizo, pepper and onion mixture, and shredded cheese.
  • Pour egg mixture over the top making sure it covers most of the ingredients. Sprinkle extra cheese on top (if desired) and bake for 40-45 minutes or until cheese is melted and egg is cooked through.
  • Once done, let casserole cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top, cut it, and serve with sliced avocado and salsa.

Notes

The casserole can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
