❤️ Why You'll Love This Recipe
There are two main reasons I love doing sheet pan meals:
✔ Simple to Prep Ahead
✔ Easy to Clean Up
First of all, I hate to do dishes - you too, right?!!
Secondly, this is a great meal you can prep ahead of time to save yourself a few minutes. Chop the peppers and onion and store them in the refrigerator. You can also slice the sausage ahead of time. I recommend dicing the potatoes juice before cooking, however.

💭 Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some questions (and answers!) readers often ask about this recipe.
Chorizo is a Mexican sausage that is made with cured and smoked pork and seasoned with Spanish paprika, which has a smoky flavor.
Garlic, oregano, cumin and coriander all go well with chorizo, but in this dish, I just used granulated garlic and ground cumin. Himalayan sea salt has a smokiness to it that I think pairs really well with this sausage dinner also.

🧂 Ingredients
- Chorizo Sausage - super flavorful, though you can also use chicken or Italian sausage.
- Potatoes - I recommend baby potatoes so you don't have to peel them.
- Orange and Yellow Bell Peppers - to add a nice sweet flavor.
- Red Onion - super mild, but pretty and flavorful, these caramelize so nicely!
- Grape Tomatoes - for a fresh, sweet pop of flavor.
- Jalapeno - add the perfect amount of spice.
- Limes - just a squeeze at the end, brightens the flavors!
- Avocado for serving, optional - adds meaty rich flavor.
- Parsley or Cilantro for serving, optional - just a bit minced and
spinkled over the top will really brighten the flavors!
From the Pantry:
- Olive Oil - will add rich flavor.

📖 Variations
Love this meal? I knew you would! After you make this, try some different versions and see what you like best. Here are some ideas:
- Substitute the chorizo for Sweet Italian sausage, leave out the potatoes and tomatoes and load up your tray with onions and peppers for a low carb meal, or serve on sub rolls.
- Use kelbasa and and add zucchini or summer squash and sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese for baking.
- Instead of chorizo, use chicken sausage with red peppers, green beans and broccoli, along with the potatoes.
- Turkey sausage would also be good with sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts.
🍴 Serving Suggestions
Rather than dinner, this recipe can easily be breakfast, or breakfast for dinner (my favorite!) Just add a fried egg on top and you're good to go.
Or, for an on-the-go breakfast, scramble a couple of eggs and fold the sausage mixture into a tortilla with the egg for a fast breakfast burrito.

You can also add the leftovers to a frittata! Perfect when don't have enough leftovers for an entire meal!
