How to Make Huevos Rancheros Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Place 4 whole corn or flour tortillas in the bottom of the dish, overlapping as needed, extending about 1/2 to 1 inch up the sides.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup (40g) shredded cheddar cheese over the tortillas.
  5. Top with 1 cup (150g) cooked chorizo, 1/2 cup (70g) chopped canned chiles (such as jalapeños or poblanos), and another 1/2 cup (40g) shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Cut the remaining tortilla into strips and arrange them over the cheese layer.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste).
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup (40g) shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  10. Gently press the cheese into the egg mixture.
  11. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  13. Bake the covered casserole for 30 minutes.
  14. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the casserole is set.
  15. Let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  16. Serve immediately with your favorite salsa and toppings (sour cream, avocado, etc.)
