Mexican Breakfast Casserole

4 Servings | 40 minutes

  • INGREDIENTS

    • 12 eggs
    • 1 cup milk
    • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1 lb chorizo
    • 1 small zucchini, sliced into half moons
    • 1 bell pepper, diced
    • 1/2 medium onion, diced
    • 1/3 cup GMG Medium Salsa
    • 2 cups GMG Original Tortilla Strips, crushed
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • INSTRUCTIONS

    • Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 11×7 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
    • Brown chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • While chorizo is cooking, add eggs, milk, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
    • When chorizo is cooked through, remove from pan to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Leave about a tsp of the grease in the pan, just enough to coat the pan.
    • Return pan to heat and add zucchini, bell pepper and onion. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
    • Cook vegetables for 7-10 minutes until softened, stirring every few minutes.
    • Add 1/3 cup salsa to vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes then remove from heat.
    • Start to assemble your casserole by spreading half of the chorizo in the bottom of the casserole dish. Top with the cooked vegetables, then 1 cup of the shredded cheese, then the crushed tortilla chips, then the remaining chorizo.
    • Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients and then sprinkle with the remaining cup of cheese.
    • Bake for 35-40 minutes, until eggs are set.
