Quichiladas are one of our favorite dishes.  We made another version of this dish last year (here) and loved it!  I changed it up a bit this time and took a Southwestern spin on the dish.  I used sausage and Rotel tomatoes instead of the original ham and cheese.  These Southwestern Quichiladas are SO good.  We both absolutely love this casserole! The dish is assembled the night before and baked the next morning or evening.  I love these kinds of meals!  We ate this for dinner, but this would a great dish to make for overnight guests.

  1. Holy mackerel. This is why sausage was created. Amen. So, so good. Topped with sour cream and salsa. Breakfast heaven. Except I served it for dinner. Brinner!

  2. I "southern-ized" this. I used turkey sausage, added a little heat with tabasco, made a cup of white gravy, tossed that and half a bag of defrosted southern cut potatoes with peppers and onion. Stuffed the tortillas with the gravy/sausage/potato mix, then covered in cheddar. Added sour cream, tabasco, and onion flakes to the eggs, then poured the egg mix over the top. Set overnight and bake as directed. Southern delight!

  3. Tana Banana, I would guess that from sitting overnight that the egg mixture seeps into the inside of the tortillas. Looks yummy!

  4. Soooooo exactly how do the eggs get into the tortillas??? According to the assembly directions sausage & rotel are rolled in the tortilla placed seam side down then the eggs, half and half are mixed and poured over the top to set overnight.

  5. Looks fantastic! Now I have one question, is that homemade salsa on top, or a store brand. It looks really good, too!!!

  6. I've made the same breakfast casserole recipe for years and it will be fun to try a new one. This would be good for any meal of the day and I love that it is made ahead of time.
