Mexican Chorizo and Potatoes (Chorizo con Papas Recipe)

I’ve never been one for meal prepping. I get tired of eating the same food after about two days and I end up wasting more food than is worth the time I saved by meal prepping. But chorizo con papas is the exception. A big batch at the beginning of the week yields breakfast burritos, tacos, tortas, breakfast scrambles, and more. It’s flavorful and familiar and done in about 30 minutes total.  

I like to add a few scrambled eggs in the morning for a high protein breakfast or eat chorizo con papas in a torta with beans and vegetables. There’s no way to do it wrong!
