How to Make San Jose Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Stir in the salsa and set aside to cool slightly.
  6. In an ungreased 11x7x2 inch baking dish, layer half of the tortillas on the bottom.
  7. Spread half of the meat mixture evenly over the tortillas.
  8. Top with half of the sliced green chiles and 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
  9. Repeat layers with remaining tortillas, meat mixture, green chiles, and cheese.
  10. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
  11. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish.
  12. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly browned.
  13. Let stand for 5 minutes before garnishing with sliced avocado and extra salsa.
  14. Serve warm and enjoy!
