For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of chili powder or cumin to the chorizo while it's cooking. If you prefer a spicier casserole, use hot chorizo or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture. Feel free to customize the vegetables according to your preference. Diced red bell pepper, black olives, or even chopped zucchini would be great additions. If you don't have Mexican cheese blend, cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese can be substituted. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator overnight. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Serve with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square glass baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepHeat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, breaking it up with a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. (7 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together warm water and dry milk until smooth. Add the cooked chorizo, tortilla pieces, beaten eggs, pinto beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, green chile, pepper Jack cheese, bell pepper, and green onions. Mix everything until well combined. (10 minutes)
04
StepPour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. (2 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the casserole is golden brown and the center is set. This should take approximately 55 to 60 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean. (60 minutes)
06
StepRemove the casserole from the oven. Spread sour cream evenly over the top, then sprinkle with the grated Mexican cheese blend. (3 minutes)
07
StepReturn the casserole to the oven to melt the cheese, about 1 minute. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (3 minutes)
08
StepLet the casserole cool slightly for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the casserole to set up a bit. (10 minutes)
