Tortilla and Sausage Breakfast Casserole

By Lsweetnell

East to make Tortilla and Sausage Breakfast Casserole recipe.

Ingredients

• 6 medium burrito size flour tortillas
• 1 pound hot breakfast sausage (for Authentic Mexican Flavor use Chorizo) I still like Jimmy Dean Sausage
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 5 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 8 ounces shredded Colby jack cheese
• pinch of salt and pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder

Preparation

Step 1

Brown sausage in a skillet, using a wooden spoon to break the meat apart while cooking.

Turn off the heat and stir in the salsa. Combine and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and mustard powder, set aside.

Slice the tortillas in half.

Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray, place the straight end of the tortilla (4 pieces) towards the outside of the dish.

Sprinkle with some cheese, then half of the sausage mixture, a little more cheese and repeat with an additional layer beginning with the tortillas and the end with a final layer of tortillas on top (make sure to save a little cheese for the top).

Pour the egg mixture over the entire thing.

Using your hands press the top layer down.

Bake in a 350˚F oven for 35 minutes.

Remove and top with remaining cheese and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
