Ingredients

  • 1 (9 ounce) package Mexican chorizo sausage, casings removed

  • 1 ½ tablespoons bacon drippings

  • 2 cups diced potatoes

  • ⅓ cup chopped onion

  • 1 serrano pepper, chopped

  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Directions

  1. Cook chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until sausage turns a dark red, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove chorizo from the skillet and set aside.

  2. Melt bacon grease in the same skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add diced onion and chopped serrano; continue cooking and stirring until potatoes are fork-tender, onion is translucent, and serrano is soft, 2 to 6 minutes more. Add chorizo back to skillet; stir until heated through. Season with salt and black pepper.

Cook’s Note

You can use oil or lard can be used in place of bacon grease.
