Equipment
Notes
Chorizo
You can use a store-bought chorizo, which is made with ground pork. Or you can use our recipe for a homemade chorizo and make yours with a ground chicken or turkey to make things a bit leaner.
Storage Instructions
These breakfast bowls are perfect for meal prep! Here’s how to store everything to keep it fresh and tasty:
Store components separately:
For best results, keep the cooked potatoes, chorizo, eggs separate from the pico de gallo, and avocado. This helps prevent things from getting soggy or overcooked when reheating. Refrigeration:
Not recommended for this full bowl since eggs and potatoes can change texture after freezing. But you can freeze the cooked chorizo for up to 2 months and defrost as needed.
For best results, keep the cooked potatoes, chorizo, eggs separate from the pico de gallo, and avocado. This helps prevent things from getting soggy or overcooked when reheating. Refrigeration:
- Chorizo, eggs, and potatoes: Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Pico de gallo: Best eaten within 4 days for peak freshness.
- Avocado: Slice fresh before serving, or toss slices in lime juice and store tightly wrapped for up to 1 day.
- Potatoes: Reheat in a hot skillet or air fryer to get the edges crispy again.
- Chorizo and eggs: Warm gently in a skillet or microwave.
- Avoid reheating avocado or pico — add those fresh when serving.
