Mexican Hash Recipes

MEXICAN HASH (PICADILLO)

Steps:

• First, stir fry potatoes in olive oil.
• Take potatoes out from oil, set apart.
• Into the remaining oil in the skillet, add the ground meat, tomatoes, salt, garlic, and pepper and mix well.
• Once the meat is partially cooked, add potatoes and rest of ingredients.
• Simmer on medium heat for about 30 minutes.

MEXICAN HASH

Steps:

• Brown ground beef in large saucepan.
• Add onions and garlic; saute until onions are soft.
• Add cream cheese; cook, stirring constantly, until cream cheese is melted.
• Add corn and Rotel; cook until the mixture is heated through.
• At this point I did add some Asadero cheese (a soft Mexican cheese, good for melting - Monterey Jack would probably work if you can't find the Asadero) to the mixture and let it melt.
• Serve over mashed potatoes or Mexican rice.
• Top with Asadero cheese and let melt (I microwaved mine to melt the cheese).

MEXICAN HASH

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo, breaking it apart until crumbly. Saute until it starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Transfer chorizo-onion mixture to a plate.
• Pour oil into pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add frozen hash brown potatoes and seasoning salt. Stir to coat potatoes in the oil.
• Let the potatoes brown on one side, then flip once after about 5 minutes. Both sides should be browned and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Add the diced tomatoes and the chorizo and onion mixture; stir gently to mix evenly. Cook for 4 more minutes, stirring once to rotate the ingredients from the bottom of the pan to the top for even cooking.
• Serve topped with cilantro and cubed avocados.

MEXICAN VEGGIE HASH

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 5 mins, then drain and let steam-dry. Heat half the butter and oil in the pan and fry the potatoes for about 10-15 mins until golden. Add the chopped chilli, garlic, Cajun seasoning, sweetcorn and black beans, and heat through for about 5 mins, then season.
• Keep warm in a low oven while you fry the eggs in the rest of the butter and oil until cooked to your liking. Divide the potatoes between 2 bowls and top with an egg, some chopped avocado and the sliced chilli. Serve with lime wedges, soured cream and warm tortillas, if you like.
