Fiesta Breakfast Hash with crispy potatoes, smoky chorizo, eggs, and melty cheese. A hearty breakfast skillet packed with bold flavor.
August 2025 update: I first shared my version of this Fiesta Breakfast Hash back in July of 2024. In this update, I combined a couple steps to make it easier to make and use less dishes (win-win). I also freshened up the post with some extra details to help you create the best breakfast skillet you might ever have. I love this recipe and I hope you will too.
👩🍳 Fiesta Breakfast Hash Should Be On Rotation
Breakfast should feel exciting, and this Fiesta Breakfast Hash is one of those healthy breakfast recipes that everyone can enjoy. The skillet is loaded with crispy breakfast potatoes, smoky chorizo, caramelized onions, sweet bell peppers, and plenty of melted cheese. It’s a hearty breakfast skillet that’s super easy to throw together.
Eggs are the star here, and you can cook them however you like. Scrambled eggs fold right into the skillet for extra creaminess, or you can go with classic over medium eggs and let the yolk run into the potatoes and chorizo. Top everything with tangy lime crema, a drizzle of spicy ketchup, and creamy avocado for a taco breakfast style finish that’s bold, colorful, and satisfying.
This recipe works because it’s flexible and filling. You can keep it simple or dress it up with extra toppings like scallions or jalapeños. The combination of eggs, cheese, and chorizo makes it one of those protein breakfast recipes that keeps you fueled all morning.
Serve it straight from the skillet, scoop it into tortillas for breakfast tacos, or pair it with fresh fruit salad to balance the spicy flavors. However you plate it, this dish proves that recipes with potatoes for breakfast don’t have to be boring. It’s hearty, flavorful, and a one-pan meal you’ll come back to again and again.

🥣 Visual Process for Making Fiesta Breakfast Hash
Start by preheating your air fryer for the potatoes. Chop the potatoes into bite-sized cubes for the perfect breakfast potatoes. Toss them with olive oil, then season with onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Spread them in the air fryer basket so they cook evenly, and roast until they’re crispy on the outside and soft inside. Shake or flip the potatoes halfway through to make sure every side gets golden brown.
While the potatoes cook, heat a little olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and red bell pepper, letting them sauté until the onions turn translucent and the peppers soften with a light char.
In the same skillet, add the chorizo. Use a spatula to break it up as it browns, cooking until the sausage is fully done and the edges are slightly crisp. The chorizo adds smoky, spicy flavor that makes this a true fiesta breakfast skillet. If there’s excess grease, you can drain it off, but leaving some in the pan adds extra flavor to the hash.
Next, cook the eggs however you like them. Scrambled eggs make the skillet creamy, while over medium eggs are perfect if you want that golden yolk running into the chorizo and potatoes. This step makes the dish customizable and keeps it one of the most versatile protein breakfast recipes you can make.
To assemble, layer crispy breakfast potatoes with the sautéed veggies and browned chorizo. Sprinkle with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese so it melts into the hot hash. Top each serving with your eggs, then finish with lime crème, spicy ketchup, smashed avocado, and a sprinkle of scallions. Serve right away as a hearty breakfast hash or scoop it into warm tortillas for a taco breakfast twist.

FAQs
What kind of chorizo should I use?
Mexican chorizo is the best for this breakfast skillet since it crumbles as it cooks and blends with the potatoes and eggs. Try chicken chorizo or turkey chorizo for a leaner option.
What’s the best way to serve leftovers?
Turn leftovers into a quick breakfast burrito or taco. Wrap the hash with scrambled eggs in a tortilla, add cheese, and store it in the fridge or freezer for a grab-and-go meal.
