Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo to the pan and brown and crumble it. When the chorizo is mostly cooked, after 4-5 minutes, add the bell pepper, garlic, and cherry tomatoes to the pan. Cook until the chorizo is no longer pink and the tomatoes have started to shrivel. Add in the lemon juice and let the moisture cook off. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Wipe the skillet mostly clean, then add another 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped potatoes and flip them every 3-4 minutes until the potatoes have softened and are beginning to brown. Add the chopped white onion to the pan.
  • While continuing to flip the potatoes occasionally, add the red onion to the pan and fold it into the potatoes. Open the canned corn and canned tomatoes with green chiles (do not drain!) and add them directly into the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Sprinkle the taco rice over the contents of the pan, then add 2 cups of water. Bring the rice to a boil and do not stir. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • When the rice has absorbed most of the liquid, add the chorizo, peppers, and cherry tomatoes to the pan, and fold them into the rice. Use a large spoon to place big scoops of refried beans on top of the rice. Make divots in the beans to hold the eggs.
  • Crack an egg into each pile of refried beans or directly onto the rice itself, then put the skillet into the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. The tops of the eggs should be slightly wobbly for a runny egg, but cook until firm if preferred.
  • Use a large serving spoon to lift out the cooked eggs on top of the refried beans. Arrange them on tortillas surrounded by rice. Serve right away and buen apetito!
