How to Make Texas Hash Cakes Sp5

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 pound chorizo to the skillet and use a spoon to break it up. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
  4. Form 1.5 pounds of shredded hash browns into 6 small, flat (about 3-inch diameter) rounds.
  5. Place the hash brown cakes in the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. While the hash brown cakes cook, prepare your toppings: thinly slice 1/2 medium yellow onion into 1/8-inch rounds and 1 ripe avocado into 1/8-inch thick strips.
  7. Place the cooked hash brown cakes on a serving platter. Spoon a generous portion of the cooked chorizo over each cake. Top with a few onion rounds and 3-4 avocado strips per cake.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
