Potato and Chorizo Casserole image

I love the smoky flavor chorizo gives this dish, but I've also made it with Italian sausage and substituted an Italian blend cheese for the Mexican cheese. Or you can use cream of mushroom soup and fresh mushrooms for a vegetarian option. -Ana Beteta, Aberdeen, Maryland

Papas con Chorizo (Mexican Chorizo and Potatoes) image

The bold, delicious flavors of this traditional Mexican dish are sure to become your new favorite breakfast. Top with a fried or poached egg, or serve inside corn tortillas. I like to top mine with Cotija cheese, cilantro, and hot sauce, with a side of avocado. Home- or store-made chorizo is best, however, feel free to use your favorite brand.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use authentic Mexican chorizo. It typically comes in a casing, so be sure to remove it before cooking. - If you can't find Mexican chorizo, you can substitute Spanish chorizo. However, Spanish chorizo is typically spicier, so you may want to use less of it. - Be careful not to overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. - Serve the casserole immediately, topped with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, salsa, and guacamole. - Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
