Air Fryer Chorizo Hash

Air Fryer Chorizo Hash was on the menu for dinner last night, and lucky for me there were leftovers!
That meant I got to enjoy this fabulous meal TWICE 🙂
All morning at school I was eying the clock and counting down the minutes until lunch.
Oh my yumminess, it was almost better today!
Here’s how to make Air Fryer Chorizo Has
This one is simple enough to prepare as well.
It starts by cooking a pound of ground chorizo sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spatula as it cooks.
I absolutely LOVE chorizo!
It has the perfect amount of spice and no additional seasoning is needed because it’s so flavorful.
The hash browns I used were frozen diced Southern style.
No shame in taking a little help from the store, right?!
I decided to make the hash browns in the air fryer because I wanted them to be crispy.
So just about four cups of the frozen hash browns fit perfectly in my air fryer basket.
You could follow the directions on the package to make them in a skillet if you don’t have an air fryer though.
Then a light sprinkling of Lawry’s season salt, because these were unseasoned hash browns.
These will take 20 to 25 minutes in the air fryer set to 390 degrees.
The time really depends on how crispy you prefer your hash browns.
Also shake the basket a few times as they cook so they cook evenly.
So we saved the calories of no cooking oil by air frying the hash browns.
Therefore we won’t feel AS bad about piling on some sausage and cheese 😉
After you add the cooked chorizo sausage and cheese, shake the basket a few times until it’s evenly mixed.
Just another minute or two in the air fryer until the cheese is melted.
As the cheese was melting away in the air fryer, I made some fried eggs to go over top.
Air Fryer Chorizo Hash is not only delicious…it’s pretty darn gorgeous too 🙂
Add a little fresh cilantro over top and dinner is ready!
The egg served over top made this extra yummy.
The yolk when we cut the egg made it creamy and decadent.
But, if you prefer yours with no egg you could top it with some sour cream.
