Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Dice the onion. Dice tomatoes and jalapeño; chop cilantro.

  2. Step 2

    Remove chorizo from casing and break into small pieces with your hands.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add potatoes and half the diced onion.

  4. Step 4

    Cook potatoes, stirring every 2 minutes, until golden and crispy, ~12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  5. Step 5

    In the same skillet, add chorizo pieces over medium heat. Cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until cooked through and edges crisp, ~6 minutes.

    Add remaining onion to the chorizo and cook until fragrant, ~90 seconds.

    Push chorizo to the side. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the empty space and crack eggs directly into the pan.

  8. Step 8

    Cook eggs over medium until whites set but yolks still jiggle slightly, ~4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  9. Step 9

    Warm refried beans in a small pot or microwave until steaming, ~3 minutes if using canned.

  10. Step 10

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium, ~30 seconds per side, until pliable.
