Ingredients
- 1 pound chorizo ground
- 1 bell pepper thinly sliced, large
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 1/3 cups salsa of choice
- 10 egg large
- 1/2 cup milk I used unsweetened almond, of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 corn tortilla cut into quarters, 6-inch
- 2 cups Mexican cheese grated
- avocado for garnish
- cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chorizo, breaking it up until it's about 3/4 of the way cooked. Drain the grease.
- Add in the pepper, onion, and cumin and cook until soft and the chorizo is golden brown, about 5 minutes or so.
- Stir in the salsa.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and salt.
Cup of Yum
To assemble
- Place half of the tortilla quarters on the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch pan. Then, spread with half the chorizo mix, followed by pouring over half of the egg mixture. Sprinkle half the cheese, and repeat to add another layer.
- Cover with tinfoil and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set. At the end, if you notice the eggs aren't quite set, uncover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes. Garnish with avocado and cilantro.
