How to Make Chorizo Lentil And Black Bean Hash

Crumble 8 ounces of chorizo into a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, or until browned and crispy, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
Add 1 cup cooked lentils, 1 cup cooked black beans, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), and 1 teaspoon chili powder to the skillet.
Stir in 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and slightly thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve immediately in warm corn tortillas. Top with a fried egg and extra cilantro, if desired.
