Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 pounds chorizo sausage
- 1 cups black beans, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cups sweet corn kernels, drained
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons chili powder
- 0.25 cups fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or a light coating of olive oil.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the diced onion and red bell pepper until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Add the chorizo sausage to the skillet and cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 6-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and drain excess fat if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder until well combined.
Fold in the black beans, corn, cooked chorizo mixture, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips over the top, followed by the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with hot sauce on the side for added heat.
