This recipe is courtesy of the wonderfully talented Lea Ann over at Mangos, Chili and Z. Lea Ann is a big fan of Southwest cooking and always has great recipes to share. She is my “go-to” source for Southwest/Mexican flair. When I saw this recipe on her blog I knew I had to make it ASAP. I mean, what could be better than a Mexican quiche covered in Velveeta dip???
OMG – this was fantastic!! We loved this. We ate this for dinner, and I had to make myself stop eating it. This was my first time cooking with chorizo and it turns out I really like it. I cooked the chorizo the night before; so it only took a few minutes to assemble the casserole after work. Dinner was on the table in no time. We just ate some chips with it, but next time I will serve it with some refried beans or black beans and rice. It’s also not a bad idea to make extra Velveeta dip to go with the chips. I’m just saying… I HIGHLY recommend this! Thanks for so much for sharing Lea Ann!!
1 dozen corn tortillas
cooking spray
1 lb chorizo
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 cup Monterey jack cheese
16 eggs (I used 10 eggs and 1 ½ cups Egg Beaters)
12 oz salsa
1 cup sour cream (I used light)
For the sauce:
12 oz Velveeta (I used 2%)
8 oz salsa
Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds, until soft. Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray. Line bottom and about an inch up the side of large Pyrex dish with tortillas. Cook chorizo and drain; spread over tortillas. Spread cheeses over chorizo. Mix eggs, sour cream and salsa together; pour over cheese and bake at 350 for 30 ā 45 minutes or until set.
For the sauce, combine Velveeta and salsa in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals until melted. Pour sauce over individual pieces of the eggs ole’.
Servings: 12
I need to make this. I have a ton of eggs from the hens that need to be used up.

It just moved up on my "try soon" queue!
Stephanie, thanks so much for the kind compliments and the shout out. I agree on making additional servings of that sauce. It's really really good. I really like your idea of steam softening the tortillas and that's exactly what I'm going to do next time. Hugs and again thanks.
