I love breakfast casserole. I also love mexican food. So put the two together, and this is what you get! It’s like Mexican Lasagna, with eggs! It is so very yummy! Of course, what’s not to love about eggs, sausage, peppers, and onions, stacked between layers of tortillas, black beans, cheese, and salsa! It’s huevos rancheros all stacked up!
I used my spicy black bean recipe, but feel free to use canned if you don’t have fresh beans. This would also be delicious with chorizo instead of traditional breakfast sausage. Feel free to use corn tortillas, but my husband and I aren’t huge fans.
BREAKFAST LASAGNA (serves 6-8, if you can manage to not eat half the pan in one sitting!)
1/2 lb. breakfast sausage
12 large eggs
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
12 small flour tortillas
2 cups black beans
2 jars salsa
2 cups cheddar cheese
salt
pepper
red pepper flakes
Preheat oven to 400.
Cook sausage in skillet over medium heat. Remove cooked sausage from the pan and drain off any grease. Scramble eggs in same pan until just set. Set eggs aside. Add peppers and onions to the pan, seasoned with salt, pepper, and red pepper to taste. Cook for 3 minutes then set aside.
Spray a 9×13 baking pan with cooking oil. Pour 1/2 cup of salsa on bottom of pan and spread with a spatula. Top with a layer of tortillas, then 1 cup black beans, half the eggs, half the sausage, half the onions, half the peppers and 1/3 of the cheese. Add another layer of tortillas, then 1/2 cup salsa, and remaining beans, eggs, sausage, onions, and peppers. Top with half the remaining cheese. Finish with another layer of tortillas, a final layer of salsa, and the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly.
