For a vegetarian option, substitute the chorizo with crumbled vegetarian sausage or soyrizo. Feel free to adjust the amount of serrano pepper to control the heat level. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. Serve with warm tortillas, your favorite salsa, diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema for a complete and delicious meal. For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the potatoes while they are cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.

01
Step
8 mins
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon, until it turns a deep, rich red color and is nicely browned (6-8 minutes). Transfer the cooked chorizo to a bowl and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
02
Step
10 mins
Add bacon drippings to the skillet with the chorizo fat and adjust the heat to medium. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown and soften (about 10 minutes).
03
Step
6 mins
Add the chopped onion and serrano pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are fork-tender, the onion is translucent, and the serrano pepper is soft (2-6 minutes).
04
Step
2 mins
Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet with the potatoes and vegetables. Stir well to combine and heat through. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
