01
Step 1
Start by mixing together the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, garlic, and a pinch of garlic salt in a bowl. Scoop out about half a cup of this mixture into another bowl and stir in the black beans. Cover both bowls and pop them in the fridge to chill while you cook.

Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re nicely browned and crispy—this usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 3
At the same time, cook the chorizo in a separate skillet over medium heat. Break it up as it cooks and stir until it’s browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Step 4
Once everything is ready, divide the chorizo, sweet potatoes, the black bean and pico de gallo mix, and some sliced avocado between four bowls. Sprinkle each with crumbled Cotija cheese.

Step 5
For the eggs, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs in and cook until the edges start to look set, about a minute. Then cover the pan, turn the heat down low, and cook until the whites are firm and the yolks are cooked just how you like them—usually 4 to 6 minutes.

Step 6
Top each bowl with an egg, and serve with extra pico de gallo and your favorite hot sauce on the side.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines bold, spicy flavors with hearty ingredients, making it a satisfying way to start the day. It’s packed with protein and has a great balance of textures, from the crispy chorizo to the soft eggs and creamy avocado. It’s both comforting and exciting to eat.
How to serve
Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad to add brightness and freshness. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro can enhance the flavors. Fresh salsa or hot sauce on the side also pairs well for those who like extra heat.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop to avoid overcooking the eggs. Keep any avocado separate and add it fresh when ready to serve to prevent browning.
