Ingredients
- 1 pound Mexican chorizo
- ¾ cup chopped onion
- ¾ cup chopped bell pepper any color
- 9 ounces corn tortillas chips
- 12 large eggs
- 10 ounce can ROTEL (stewed tomatoes and chiles)
- 1/3 cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (or half cheddar and half pepper jack)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set out a 9X13 inch baking dish, and set a large skillet on the stovetop.
- Place the chorizo in the skillet. Turn the heat on medium-high and break the chorizo apart with a wooden spoon.
- Let the chorizo brown for 1-2 minutes. Then mix in the onions and bell peppers. Sauté the chorizo and veggies another 3-4 minutes, until the onions are softened.
- Meanwhile, place the tortilla chips in the baking dish. Spread them out in an even layer.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, Rotel, milk, and salt together.
- Once the chorizo and veggies are cooked, sprinkle them over the tortilla chips. Next sprinkle the shredded cheese over the meat mixture. Shake the dish a little to help the topping work down between the chips.
- Then pour the egg mixture over the top. Shake the dish again so there is chorizo, veggies and cheese further down in the dish.
- Bake on the lowest rack for 25-30 minutes. Then cut into squares and serve!
