Whole 30 Whole30 Salsa Verde Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash
This skillet breakfast is the kind of meal that makes waking up on a reset actually feel worth it — smoky chorizo, caramelized sweet potato cubes, and a bright homemade salsa verde all coming together in one pan. The salsa verde is built from scratch with charred tomatillos and jalapeño, so you get that tangy, slightly smoky depth without any bottled sauces or hidden additives to stress over. Cumin and smoked paprika season the hash itself, meaning every bite has layers of flavor before the eggs even hit the plate. Speaking of eggs — fried right on top and finished with a drizzle of that green sauce, they tie the whole thing together beautifully. Sliced avocado and fresh cilantro on top are optional, but they push this from satisfying to genuinely restaurant-worthy. The recipe makes four servings, so it's practical enough for a weekend meal prep session or a leisurely Sunday morning with people you actually want to feed.

Instructions
- 1
Make the salsa verde: Place the tomatillos and jalapeño halves cut-side down on a dry 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until the tomatillos are charred in spots and beginning to soften, then flip and cook 2–3 minutes more until the skins are blistered and the tomatillos are fully softened. Transfer to a blender along with the scallion greens, cilantro, lime juice, and ½ tsp salt. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Set aside.

Wipe out the skillet and heat 1 tbsp of the avocado oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sweet potato cubes in a single layer, season with the cumin, smoked paprika, ½ tsp salt, and black pepper, and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until the undersides are golden brown. Stir and continue cooking, stirring every 2–3 minutes, for another 8–10 minutes until the cubes are tender when pierced with a fork and caramelized on most sides. Transfer to a plate.
