Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, drain and rinse the pinto beans, and remove the casings from the sausage if needed.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the sausage and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
- Add the potatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add the beans, sausage, salsa, and 1 cup of cheese to the skillet. Stir, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Create divots and crack an egg into each.
- Bake until egg whites are set but yolks are runny, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven, top with avocado and cilantro, and serve with more salsa and tortilla chips if desired.
