Ingredients
- 12 oz chorizo sausage no casings
- 10 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk I use whole
- ¼ tsp table salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 3 TB olive oil
- 1 cup black beans rinsed and drained
- ½ tsp table salt
- 12 corn tortillas 8-inch
- 15 oz Mexican blend shredded cheese cheddar jack works well, too
- 2 enchilada sauce 10 oz cans each
- 1 cup chunky salsa I use mild
- 1 sliced olives drained, 2.25 oz can
- 3 TB fresh cilantro chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Grease a 13x9 glass baking dish; set aside. Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a large nonstick skillet, cook chorizo while stirring and breaking it up into small pieces until cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- In a bowl, beat eggs together with milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and garlic powder.
- In same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat about 1 min. Add beaten eggs and cook, gently pushing and stirring cooked portions to the center and allowing uncooked portions to come underneath until scrambled eggs are set. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine enchilada sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and salsa.
- Spread a third of the salsa mixture on the bottom of prepared baking pan. Layer 6 corn tortillas, followed by half of the scrambled eggs, half of the chorizo, and half of the beans. Sprinkle with half of the cheese.
- Spread a third of the salsa mixture on top, followed by the remaining tortillas, scrambled eggs, chorizo, and beans. Spread the remaining third of salsa mixture. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Top with sliced olives.
- Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.
