#MexicanFoodTherapy: Breakfast for Dinner Skillet

Ingredients:

Cooking spray

2 cups frozen hashbrowns

1 cup frozen or fresh corn, roasted

1 green pepper, chopped medium

1 jalapeno, chopped medium

2 links chicken sausage 

2 eggs

1/2 cup queso fresco

Salt and pepper to taste

Serves 2 (to double you'll need a bigger skillet!)

This my friends is roasted corn. One of my latest cooking obsessions. I've been putting it in everything. Salads, tacos, you name it. It's also super easy to make. Just throw it (fresh or frozen) in a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat and let it sit there. No stirring. After five or so minutes it should be browned and then you can stir and heat through. I like to add salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika. This is what it should look like. SO GOOD. First cook your corn in the skillet and then put it in a medium bowl and set it aside. No need to clean out the skillet. That's the beauty of cast iron.

We eat breakfast for dinner almost weekly because it's easy and SO good. This meal only takes about 20-30 minutes to prepare and cook and it's really yummy. The only requirement is that you have a cast iron skillet.

First, chop everything medium like so:

I would normally add a jalapeño, but I forgot to buy one, so just pretend there's a chopped jalapeño pictured here :) for jalapeños and chiles in general, keep the rib and the seeds for more heat and get rid of the rib and seeds for less heat.

Coat the skillet with cooking spray and add the hash browns. Add a bit of salt and pepper. If I was really legit I would fry up a cut up yukon gold instead of using frozen hash browns, but then it wouldn't be a quick and easy meal would it?  

Mix together the seasoned, roasted corn, green pepper, and jalapeño while the hash browns cook up for a few minutes. Then add it to the skillet. Meanwhile cut up the chicken sausage into bite-sized pieces. Chorizo sausage would also be a great choice for this dish.



Add the sausage to the skillet...

Finally, crack a couple of eggs over the top, cover and reduce the heat to low. Give it 7-10 minutes for the eggs to cook and veggies to soften. Add some salt and pepper and crumble some queso fresco over everything.

We like to just eat it straight out of the skillet with a couple of forks and a fruit salad. 

Provecho!
