Get your little ones involved in the kitchen!

This dish is an excellent opportunity to get your little ones involved in the kitchen. You can have them assist you by tearing the tortillas and using them to line the base of the pan. It’s an easy and fun way to introduce them to cooking, regardless of their age.

Some tips when making your Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Casserole:

• Depending on how many people you’re serving, or how hungry you are, add as many eggs to this casserole as will fit or as many as you want.
• Add more or less cheese to you and your family’s liking. I, Kalie, am not a big “cheese lover” but my husband, Erich, is. To keep everyone happy, I add most of the cheese to Erich’s portion of the casserole, and less to mine.
• The beauty of this dish is you can be creative with it! Add a cup of pinto or black beans OR cooked turkey sausage, ground beef, chicken, Crispy Pork Carnitas or chorizo between the layer of tortillas and eggs.
• Don’t have a lot of time in the morning? Prep it the night before and place it in the oven the next morning. This may slightly alter bake time.
• Have you ever tried making your own tortillas? After a trip to Mexico we made a batch and never purchased store-bought again. The difference in taste and texture is out of this world and worth the extra work!
