Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Rinse them under cold water and drain.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the smoked chorizo and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Beat the Eggs

    In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Cooking the Frittata

  1. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are crispy and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the potatoes are cooked, lower the heat and add the cooked chorizo back into the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the potatoes and chorizo.

  3. 6

    Add Cotija Cheese

    Sprinkle the cotija cheese on top of the egg mixture, allowing it to melt slightly as the eggs cook.

  4. 7

    Finish Cooking

    Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the bottom is golden brown.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the frittata from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Top with sliced avocado, pico de gallo, and salsa verde. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
