Egg Tortilla Casserole Food

EGG AND TORTILLA CHIP BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a rectangular 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Spread half of the chips in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Whisk together the milk, ancho chile powder, eggs and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Stir in the green chiles, cilantro and 1/2 cup of the pepper jack; pour into the baking dish. Bake until the casserole is set around the edges but a little loose in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Sprinkle the remaining chips over the casserole. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup pepper jack and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the casserole is set in the center, about 10 minutes more. Let stand 10 minutes. Top with whole cilantro leaves, salsa verde and/or pickled jalapenos. Serve with sour cream.

TORTILLA BREAKFAST WRAP

Steps:

• Combine the eggs with a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
• Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and swirl the skillet to coat the bottom. Working quickly, dip the tortilla in the eggs, then flip it over and place it back in the skillet (both sides should be coated in egg). Season with another pinch of salt.
• Continue to cook the eggs until they are completely set on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Slide a large rubber or silicone spatula under the tortilla and flip the whole tortilla and egg over in one single motion. Scatter the spinach on the half of the tortilla that's closest to you, then top with the cheese and finally the ham. Continue to cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and slide onto a plate.
• Starting with the side that has all the filling, start rolling the tortilla into a tight wrap or burrito. Keep the seam side facing downward so the wrap stays closed. Cut in half crosswise and serve.
