Santa Fe Skillet Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Dice the onion, tomatoes, green chilies, and country potatoes. If using chicken or carnitas, ensure they are cooked and shredded.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced country potatoes and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Once the potatoes are cooked, add the diced onion, tomatoes, and green chilies to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  4. 4

    Add Meat and Sauce

    Stir in the cooked chicken or carnitas and the red or green chile sauce. Mix well and simmer for another 3-5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cook the Eggs

    In a separate pan, fry or scramble the eggs to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Skillet

    Spoon the potato and meat mixture onto plates. Top each serving with a fried or scrambled egg and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Serve with warm flour tortillas.
