Chorizo + Plantains
If you aren’t super familiar with either of the star ingredients in this southwest chorizo breakfast casserole, don’t be surprised if they quickly become new favorites, especially paired together! Chorizo is a Spanish pork sausage, and it gets its flavor from dried smoked red peppers. My step-dad loves it, and I can remember him making it when I was younger. It is a little fattier than regular pork sausage, and given its smoky flavor it is often used to add flavor to dishes. We found clean, sugar-free pork chorizo sausage at our local Natural Grocers that we used in this recipe. You can find the store nearest you using their store locations page. You can also order clean bison chorizo sausage online at US Wellness Meats. For me, plantains started as a substitute for potatoes because I have a potato intolerance. I tried parsnips at first, but they just weren’t as starchy. For whatever reason I was unsure of plantains. Aren’t they sweet like bananas, and why do they often look like rotten bananas at the grocery store? Yes, plantains can be sweeter, the more ripe they get. Those are the yellow and brown plantains you see at the store. The green ones that just look like oversized unripe bananas, those are the gems! They will yield all the starchy goodness you could ever want. Buy them, and make this southwest chorizo breakfast casserole!
