Chorizo Sweet Potato Chilaquiles is a delicious rustic breakfast that will surely satisfy your hunger. In this recipe you’ll find baked eggs with robust chorizo and sweet potato tortilla chips in a fire-roasted tomato sauce!  This perfect one-pan breakfast serves 4 in about 35 minutes.

Originally I had plans to make basic chilaquiles. Because chips tossed with with onions, garlic and tomatoes is never a bad idea. But as I thought about it, I wanted something more. I cooked some chorizo and lightly caramelized onions with garlic and used fire-roasted tomatoes as the base for this amazing breakfast recipe.

This delicious skillet creation is easily one of the best breakfasts I’ve made in a long time. If you haven’t had chilaquiles before, let me tell you, before my first bite, I thought I knew what to expect. I had no idea I would like an egg with a tomato sauce, but boy was I in for a surprise. The egg yolk is like a bonus sauce.

This is one of those recipes where I sit and wish that calories didn’t exist because I could totally eat the entire skillet. True story.

It’s hard to say what I love more; the contrasting textures of crisp and softened sweet potato chips, the thick yolk mixed with the tomato sauce or the chorizo sausage. It’s all pretty amazing.

Here’s what you’ll need: 1/2 pound chorizo, 1/2 a yellow onion, 2 cloves fresh garlic, 30 ounces of crushed fire-roasted tomatoes, 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, sweet Potato Tortilla Chips, 4 eggs, salt and pepper.

As far as garnish/toppings go you will want queso fresco, cilantro and lime wedges.

To start, place a 1/2 pound of chorizo into a large 12-inch oven safe skillet. Use a wooden spatula to break the sausage into small crumbles. Whether your pan is cast iron or stainless, it really doesn’t matter as long as it’s deep-sided and safe to go from the stove top to the oven.

Once the chorizo is fully cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chorizo to a paper towel lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan.

Next, add 1/2 a yellow onion that has been diced to the skillet. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until the onions are tender and the edges start to caramelize and turn brown. Then add in the 2 cloves of minced fresh garlic and cook for about a minute.

Reduce the heat under your skillet to medium-low heat and slowly pour in the crushed fire-roasted tomatoes and a pinch or two of sugar. Be careful when pouring, the pan will be hot and when the tomatoes get added, there may be some splash back. Add in the (drained) diced green chiles and stir to combine.

Season with 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (more or less to taste). Then stir and simmer the tomato sauce for about 5 to 6 minutes or until it reduces slightly and thickens.

Add the chorizo back into the fire-roasted tomato sauce, stir and bring to a simmer.

Turn off the heat and add in 4 generous handfuls of sweet potato tortilla chips or about 4 to 5 cups. Toss to combine. This dish has delicious texture because some chips stick out and get all nice and crispy while other chips will soften from simmering in the sauce.

Use your spatula to make a four wells in the skillet. Carefully crack each egg into the wells and season the eggs with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Slip the skillet onto the middle rack of your preheated 400° oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes. With that said, you may want to check on your skillet at the 9 or 10 minute mark to make sure your eggs aren’t cooking too fast. And then gauge how much longer you need for the egg whites to set. I highly reccomend keeping an eye on this and using a for to check the egg whites periodically.

To keep the egg yolks from over cooking, remove the skillet the minute the egg whites are set.

Chorizo sweet Potato Chilaquiles + a thick and runny egg yolk is heavenly.

Garnish the chorizo sweet potato chilaquiles with crumbled quest fresca, cilantro leaves and a little extra black pepper never hurts.

Queso Fresco vs. Cotija? First of all, either cheese would work fine in this recipe. Queso fresco has more moisture in it than Cotija, therefore it melts beautifully once the crumbles hits the hot chilaquiles.

Serve with a fresh squeeze of lime juice over top.
