Ingredients

1 pound Ground Sausage
1 small White Onion diced
1 Green Bell Pepper diced
2 teaspoons Minced Garlic
2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
1 cup Salsa
1 can Black Beans 15 ounces, rinsed and drained
1 cup Frozen Corn
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper
12 Large Eggs
⅓ cup Milk
8 Corn Tortillas cut into quarters
2 cups Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9X13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook 1 pound ground sausage, breaking it apart as it browns.
Remove the sausage from the pan and leave a few tablespoons of the grease left in the pan.
Add 1 small diced white onion and 1 diced green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened. Stir in 2 teaspoons minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, 1 cup salsa, 1 can (15 ounces) black beans that have been rinsed and drained, and 1 cup frozen corn. Stir well and cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs, ? cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
Place half of the 8 corn tortillas (cut into quarters) in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Top with half of the sausage mixture. Pour half of the egg mixture over the sausage mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend over the top.
Repeat the layers again using up the rest of the ingredients.
Bake for 45-55 minutes until the center of the casserole is set (no longer jiggly).
Remove the casserole from the oven. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes and then it’s ready to serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
