Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mexican Breakfast Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab an 8-inch square glass baking dish and give it a light spray with nonstick cooking spray to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 3
Next, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the chorizo.
Step 4
Cook it for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly.
Step 5
Once it’s ready, remove it from the heat and let it drain on some paper towels to soak up any excess grease.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water with instant dry milk, stirring until it’s well blended.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to add the star ingredients: the cooked chorizo, torn tortilla pieces, beaten eggs, pinto beans, diced tomatoes with green chiles, sweet corn, green chiles, pepper Jack cheese, chopped bell pepper, and fresh green onions.
Step 8
Mix everything together until it’s a colorful, well-combined medley.
Step 9
Pour this vibrant mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 10
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 11
Once it’s done, take it out of the oven and spread a generous layer of sour cream on top.
Step 12
Sprinkle with a delightful Mexican cheese blend and pop it back in the oven for just about a minute, allowing the cheese to melt into a gooey, delicious topping.
Step 13
Finally, let the casserole cool for a few moments before serving, and get ready to enjoy a hearty dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
