Equipment

  • 1 Large Cast-Iron Skillet (10 inches)

Ingredients  

  • 6 ounces chorizo sausage, casing removed
  • 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, if necessary
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, quartered
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 4-ounce can of diced green chiles, drained
  • ½ cup shredded cheese

Instructions 

  • In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat cook the chorizo, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until brown, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove it from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the onions to the skillet and cook in the chorizo grease until onions are translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
