enchilada / mexican breakfast casserole
(1 RATING)
I made this for breakfast pot luck and came home with an empty plate and lots of compliments. I used half pork and half beef chorizo and used the full 18 ounces, also a medium salsa. The original recipe is from Chew Out Loud and calls for the small amounts listed. The larger amounts reflect what I used.
