Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 oz chorizo sausage
- 1 cup cooked lentils
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 eggs (optional, for serving)
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional, for serving)
- 1 tbsp hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the chorizo from its casing (if applicable) and crumble it into the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
Add olive oil to the skillet if needed, then add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the cooked lentils and black beans to the skillet. Stir to combine, then season with salt and black pepper.
Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet and mix it into the hash. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
If serving with eggs, fry or poach the eggs to your liking in a separate pan.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the hash with fresh chopped cilantro.
Serve the chorizo lentil and black bean hash warm, topped with eggs (if using) and sliced avocado. Add a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor if desired.
