Southwest steak skillet hash is an awesome way to use a few pantry staples in one dish. It is a little spicy, a little creamy, a little tangy and a whole lot of yum.
I’ve been playing around a lot with Mexican spices lately. I thought that this up coming camping trip would be a great way for me to try out some of my old Tex-mex favs. I know a few things. My love for cumin is at a all time high. Ancho chilli powder gives my potatoes a nice kick. Cheyenne powder is the best way to get have some spice on the go.
So I told you guys yesterday that we are going camping. But only behind a LARGE fence. Mainly, because we live literally beside the Everglades. I’m sure you guys thought that I was over reacting and that I was just a big scaredy cat. So I had some tea and sat down to watch the News and BAM- an alligator was found chopping on someone literally 5 miles from my house. And a monster gator was just chilling on a golf course between rounds. Yup! I like to think I’m about that camping life then I hear news like that and my natural reaction is I’m good. 
I love the outdoors. I love animals. Actually the alligator is one of my favorite animals to study but I also respect to keep a healthy distance.
Southwest steak skillet hash is the best way in my opinion to kind of throw everything into a skillet and like magic it comes out perfect. I know on Tuesdays I just can’t with the 2 hour prep and then cooking. I’m not the only one right?
Plus I’ve been eating tons of super healthy foods lately- remember than Orange cherry quinoa salad and the summer veggie tart? I can’t think of a better way to kick off lazy summer days or camping season than with a skillet hash.
Enjoy!
