Ingredients
  

  • 4 cans of mild green chilies whole (drained and seeded)
  • 6 oz. Mexican farmer's cheese finely chopped
  • 8 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 6 oz. chorizo
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Grease a square glass baking dish with vegetable spray.
  • In a skillet, cook the chorizo. When nearly done, add the onions and sauté until cooked through.
  • Slice the chilies lengthwise, open them up, and remove any seeds and membranes.
  • Create a layer at the bottom of the baking dish using half of the chilies.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper.
  • Sprinkle half of the chorizo mixture over the layered chilies, followed by half of the finely chopped cheese.
  • Pour half of the beaten eggs over the top as the next layer.
  • Create another layer using the remaining chilies.
  • Repeat the layering process with the remaining chorizo and cheese, just as before.
  • Pour the remaining beaten eggs over the top layer.
  • Bake the casserole for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Cut it into sections and serve with salsa poured over the top, alongside warm flour tortillas.
