The ancho chile and spices give these sweet potato hash browns a classic Southwestern flavor. The pico de gallo adds more heat, while the avocado cools it all down. The result is a delicious and healthy breakfast. Make your own or you can buy pico de gallo in the refrigerated produce section at your local grocery store.
