Grace D. Plunk: Tortilla Breakfast Casserole Recipe

Hello! I have been cooking some freeze for later meals for my brother and sister-in-law because they are days (maybe hours?) away from having a baby!! And all I know about birthing babies is that you’re supposed to bring people food.

What to do when someone has a baby (I think?):

1. Bring food.

2. Drop it off and leave.

3. That’s it.

I don’t know this for a fact, but a friend who’s had two babies told me that would be her preference. Noted!

Anyway.

I made them a chicken and stuffing casserole. That’s already frozen and on the way to their home thanks to my mom.

And yesterday I made this Tortilla Breakfast Casserole Recipe. It’s super easy and a great way to use up corn tortillas if you don’ t happen to plow through a 50 pack before they get stale.

Tortilla Breakfast Casserole Recipe

Ingredients:

7 eggs
1/4 cup milk
16 oz. ground sausage
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, cleaned & chopped
2 cups frozen spinach, heat in microwave & squeeze out excess water
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
corn tortillas
Salt / Pepper / Garlic powder / Chili powder

Directions: Pre-heat over to 350 degrees. Heat skillet with olive oil, cook onions until translucent. Add sausage and cook through. Drain excess fat from pan. Add mushrooms & spinach. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and chili powder to your taste.

Microwave frozen spinach until warm, squeeze out excess water. Add to sausage mixture.

Grease 9×9 baking pan. Cover bottom of pan with a layer of tortillas, overlapping slightly. Place half sausage mixture on tortillas. Sprinkle with 1/3 shredded cheese. Place another layer of tortillas. Cover with remaining sausage mix and 1/3 of cheese.

Mix eggs and milk thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully pour eggs in pan on top of sausage & tortillas. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until almost set. Top with remaining cheese and place back in over for another 5 to 10 minutes or until cook through and cheese is melted.

Enjoy!
