- 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 hot dogs, ( sliced into ¼” sections)
- 1 yellow onion, (medium dice)
- 1 red bell pepper, (medium dice)
- 2 cloves garlic, (finely minced)
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp freshly-ground black pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/3 can of chipotles in adobo with sauce, ( finely minced)
- 1 can of black beans, (drained)
- 1 jalapeno, ( minced)
- ½ cup + 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, ( roughly chopped)
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- 1 cup queso asadero, or any soft and mild-flavored melting cheese
- 4 eggs, (poached)
- Zest of 1 lime
- Juice of 1 lime

- 1 lime, cut into wedges, (for garnish)
- Hot sauce of preference, (for serving)
Instructions
- Peel and cube the russet potatoes and cover with cold, salted water.
- Boil potatoes until they are tender but not falling apart.
- When potatoes are tender, drain and allow to cool at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Heat an oven-safe saute pan or cast-iron skillet with vegetable oil until oil is nearly smoking.
- Cook the hot dog pieces on high heat until browned. Remove browned hot dog pieces and set aside for later.
- Add another splash of vegetable oil and cook the onion on high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring infrequently to allow the onions to take on some color.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the diced bell pepper.
- Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic cloves, 2 tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp freshly-ground black pepper, and 1 tsp kosher salt and chipotles in adobo sauce.
- Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the black beans, minced jalapeno, ½ cup fresh cilantro, and ¼ cup chicken stock and cook until liquid has mostly disappeared.
- Add the lime zest and lime juice, along with the boiled potatoes and hot dogs from earlier. Gently stir to combine.
- Taste and season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired.
- Top with the queso asadero, or soft melting cheese, and bake in the oven for 7 minutes, or until the cheese is all melted and delicious-looking.
- While the dish is finishing in the oven, poach the eggs.
- Remove hash from oven and serve hot, topped with poached eggs, wedges of lime, the remaining 2 Tbsp of fresh cilantro, and your hot sauce of choice.
Notes
You can substitute the hot dogs for sausage or any other type of meat you enjoy.
If you prefer a less-spicy version, use less of the canned chipotles in adobo and omit the jalapeno.
