Cooking Instructions
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F. Meanwhile, peel and cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Drain and rinse pinto beans. Remove the casings from breakfast sausage if needed.
Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer sausage to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving fat in the pan.
Add the potatoes to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Add the beans, sausage, salsa, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Create 4 divots in the mixture and crack an egg into each divot.
Bake until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, 10 to 12 minutes. Pit and slice avocado. Coarsely chop cilantro.
Remove skillet from oven and top with avocado and cilantro. Serve with more salsa and optional tortilla chips or tortillas.
