High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Whole30 Chorizo Sweet Potato Hash
Smoky, hearty, and packed with color, this skillet hash is the kind of one-pan meal that earns a permanent spot in your weekly rotation. Store-bought chorizo is one of the sneakiest places to find unwanted sweeteners and additives, so making your own from ground pork and a bold blend of smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and a splash of apple cider vinegar puts you completely in control of what goes into the pan. The result is deeply spiced sausage with none of the mystery ingredients. Sweet potato cubes get caramelized low and slow in a cast iron skillet until they're golden on the outside and tender all the way through, while red bell pepper adds a pop of sweetness and crunch that balances the heat from the cayenne. Eggs nestled right into the hash and cooked under a lid finish the whole thing off without dirtying another dish. A handful of fresh cilantro and creamy avocado slices on top take it from weeknight dinner to something you'd genuinely be proud to serve to guests.

Heat 1 tbsp of the avocado oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned pork and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, for 7–9 minutes until cooked through with no pink remaining and the edges are lightly browned, reaching 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the cooked chorizo to a plate and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the pan.
