- 1 medium chopped green bell pepper
- 1 medium chopped onion
- 1 small finely chopped jalapeno
- 3 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon paprika

- 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

Method
Step 1
Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the potatoes with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes. Stir halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Step 2
Cook the Chorizo: While the potatoes roast, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chorizo and cook for 6-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s browned and fully cooked. Push to the side to make room for the vegetables.
Step 3
Sauté the Vegetables: Add the onion, red and green bell peppers, jalapeño, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized. Stir in the cilantro, thyme, cumin, salt and ground black pepper.
Step 4
Combine the Hash: Add the cooked chorizo, roasted potatoes, and refried beans to the skillet. Toss everything together to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese over the hash. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt for a couple of minutes.
Step 5
Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for a bright, tangy finish.
