Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 lb frozen potato hash browns
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • ½ red onion diced
  • ½ teaspoon dried cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dried chili powder
  • 1 jalapeño pepper for topping, sliced and seeds removed
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro roughly chopped + more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoon avocado sliced
  • ¼ cup queso fresco crumbled
  • ½ tsp coarse salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat skillet on medium-high, then add half the oil. Once oil is hot, add the red pepper, onions and spices and sauté until soft. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
  • To the same pan on medium-high heat, heat the remaining oil. Then add the potatoes in a single layer (some overlap is fine). Leave the potatoes to brown about 7 minutes without touching them.
  • Flip the potatoes and cook another 7 minutes until golden. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the red pepper and onions back into the pan along with the beans and toss everything together gently.
  • Top the hash with avocado, jalepeño pepper, queso cheese and cilantro. Adjust seasonings to taste and serve.
