Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté diced onion, green pepper, and minced garlic for about 2 minutes.
- Add ground chorizo and taco seasoning to the skillet, cooking for 5 to 7 minutes until browned.
- Stir in thawed corn, drained black beans, and diced tomatoes, heating through.
- Arrange quartered tortilla pieces at the bottom of the baking dish, cover with one-third of the chorizo mixture, and sprinkle with cheese. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with tortillas on top.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered casserole.
Baking
- Cover the casserole with foil and either refrigerate overnight or bake immediately for 30 minutes.
- If refrigerating, bake covered for 30 minutes the next day, then uncover and add remaining cheese on top. Bake uncovered for an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
- Check doneness with a knife inserted in the center; it should come out clean.
Serving
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve with toppings like avocado, cilantro, salsa, or a dollop of sour cream.
Notes
Prep ingredients ahead of time to speed up morning assembly. Make the dish a day in advance for better flavor, and don’t skimp on the cheese.
