Ingredients

• 8 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 pounds chorizo sausage
• 1 cups black beans, drained and rinsed
• 0.5 cups sweet corn kernels, drained
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons chili powder
• 0.25 cups fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or a light coating of olive oil.

Step 2

In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the diced onion and red bell pepper until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the chorizo sausage to the skillet and cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 6-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder until well combined.

Step 6

Fold in the black beans, corn, cooked chorizo mixture, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese into the egg mixture.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips over the top, followed by the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 11

Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with hot sauce on the side for added heat.
