Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers to the pan and cook, while stirring, until they begin to soften and brown, 5 to 7 minutes. 
  3. Add the sliced sausage, beans, spices, and tomato sauce, and cook until everything heats all the way through, another 2 to 3 minutes. 
  4. Grease a rectangular baking dish with olive oil and layer with half the tortillas. Top with half the pepper/sausage mixture and half the cheese. Layer the rest of the tortillas on top, then the remaining pepper/sausage mixture, and cheese.
  5. Crack the eggs on top for the final layer, season with salt and pepper, and bake until the eggs are set, 30 to 40 minutes. 
  6. Let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve with desired toppings.
