Modified a bit from original because:
Keith loves chorizo, it's easier to let the eggs bake with the casserole than to make scrambled eggs first, and we wanted some extra protein and texture, so added black beans.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chorizo
- 1/2 small Onion diced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1/2 cup yield)
- 1 small Red or Green Bell Pepper diced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3/4 cup yield)
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 10 Eggs
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 1/2 cups Green or Red Chile Enchilada Sauce* OR 3/4 cup of EACH for Christmas-style
- 12 Corn Tortillas OR 5 Flour Tortillas quartered for corn tortillas, cut into pie-shaped wedges for flour tortillas
- 5 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar, Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack Cheese (or a combination)
Optional Toppings:
- Fresh torn Cilantro leaves
- Sour Cream
- Hot Sauce or Salsa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Crumble the sausage into a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat. As the sausage begins to brown, add the onion and the peppers. Continue cooking, stirring frequently until the vegetables are tender and the meat is fully cooked (about 5 minutes). Add the black beans and stir to combine.
- While the sausage mixture cooks, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly, just to combine them. Season with chili powder.
- Pour 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce (red or green; OR 1/4 cup of each) into the bottom of a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of tortilla wedges over the sauce (use half of the tortillas)
- Distribute the sausage mixture over the layer of tortillas. Sprinkle generously with 1/2 the cheese. Pour eggs over the sausage and cheese.
- Add top layer of tortilla wedges (the other half)
- Pour the remaining sauce over the top layer of tortillas. Either keep in fridge overnight and bake for breakfast in the morning or bake immediately.
- Bake for 45 minutes (until bubbling and eggs are cooked though. Sprinkle with cheese and bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Serve with cilantro, sour cream and hot sauce, if desired.
