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
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.
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.
