Ingredients

1 large sweet potato peeled and diced into 1/4" cubes, about 3 cups
½ yellow or sweet onion diced
1 large red or green bell pepper stem/seeds removed and diced, about 1 cup
1 jalapeno sliced or minced
2 tsp olive oil divided
1 1/2 cups cooked ham diced or chopped
½ tsp All-Purpose MSG Seasoning
½ teaspoon smoked paprika or chili powder

For Serving

4 eggs fried, over-easy, or scrambled
1 large avocado sliced or diced

Instructions

Heat a large nonstick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add half the olive oil and cook the onions, bell peppers, and jalapenos until fragrant and seared (about five minutes).
Transfer to a large bowl, then add the ham. Sear on medium-high heat for three minutes, or until the edges are browned and crispy. Add to the bowl with the peppers and onions.
Add the remaining olive oil and sweet potatoes and cook, 10-12 minutes, until cooked through and browned.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add back the cooked ham, onions, and peppers. Add the seasonings and stir to combine. Allow 2-3 minutes to heat through, then serve hot with eggs, cooked to your liking, and diced avocado.
