Roasted Potatoes & Spicy Chorizo Skillet Meal

I think you’re going to love this simple skillet meal because it’s so easy to add extra stuff to it…read on and you’ll see what I mean.

Oh by the way, I used red potatoes which makes this recipe Whole30® compliant, but not entirely paleo.

That’s an easy fix whole30 compliant recipe mark… just switch out the red potatoes for chopped sweet potatoes (white flesh recommended) and it’ll be both Whole30 and paleo.

So like I was saying, this is a fantastic baseline recipe that’s awesome as-is. I mean spicy chorizo and potatoes together? Yum! It really does taste as good as it sounds.

But if you’re feeling extra creative – or just have some extra veggies you want to use up – this is probably the perfect, fool-proof recipe to experiment with and still have your meal turn out crazy-delicious.

Here’s what I mean … add some scrambled eggs and you’ve got a wake-up-your-taste-buds egg, potato and chorizo breakfast.

Or add some spinach leaves … toss those in during the final stir so they just wilt a little bit before serving to get some extra greens on your plate.

Or how about sliced zucchini or squash … sauté those a little bit along with the onions and bell peppers and rock on with the recipe as written.

Baby carrots would be a great addition … roast those alongside the potatoes before adding to the skillet.

See what I mean? This is a very versatile recipe! Got something in mind? Add it and I bet you’ll love it.

Hope you enjoy this simple recipe … play around with it, do a little improvising – see what you can come up with.
