TO MAKE THE PICO DE GALLO

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.

TO MAKE THE HASH BROWNS

1. Cut the sweet potato spirals crosswise into ½-inch pieces.

2. In a large bowl, toss together the sweet potato, scallions, ancho chile, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.

3. In a large sauté pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

4. Spread out the sweet potato mixture on the bottom of the pan and cook, without stirring, until it browns on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more.

5. Serve topped with the avocado and pico de gallo.
