Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 6 pieces corn tortillas Cut into quarters or strips
  • 1 lb ground chorizo or breakfast sausage Optional
  • 1/2 cup black beans Optional, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup salsa Store-bought or homemade
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt Optional for topping
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro For garnish
  • 1 whole avocado Sliced for garnish
  • Salt and pepper To taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil If using sausage or chorizo
  • Optional toppings: diced onions, jalapeños, lime wedges, hot sauce

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light layer of cooking spray or olive oil.
  • Cut the corn tortillas into quarters or strips and layer them evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • If using ground chorizo or sausage, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the meat until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and sprinkle over the tortilla layer.
  • If using black beans, scatter them over the tortilla and meat layer.
  • Pour the salsa evenly over the top.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the mixture in the baking dish.
  • Top with shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are set and cheese is bubbly.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with sour cream, cilantro, and avocado slices. Serve warm.

Notes

For added flavor, include spices like cumin or chili powder. Fresh homemade salsa enhances taste. For a vegetarian version, omit meat and add more vegetables like bell peppers or spinach. Casserole can be made ahead, or frozen for storage.
