Ingredients
Halal ground beef or sausage (1.25 lbs)
Small white onion (1, diced)
Poblano or green bell pepper (1, diced)
Garlic cloves (4, minced)
Red or green salsa (15-ounce jar, ~2 cups)
Black or pinto beans (15-ounce can, rinsed and drained)
Whole-kernel corn (½ cup, frozen or canned, drained)
Ground cumin (1 tsp)
Fine sea salt (1 tsp)
Large eggs (12)
Milk (½ cup, whole milk recommended)
Corn tortillas (8, halved)
Shredded Mexican-blend cheese (3 cups)
Optional toppings: diced avocado, red onion, cilantro, green onions, jalapeños, cotija cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, cook halal beef or sausage over medium heat until browned; drain excess fat. Stir in onion, pepper, garlic, cumin, and salt until softened.
Add salsa, beans, corn, and 1 cup cheese. Mix well.
Arrange half the tortilla halves in the dish. Layer the meat mixture on top. Top with remaining tortillas and remaining cheese.
Beat eggs with milk; pour the custard mixture over the casserole. Bake 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden. Let rest 10 minutes before serving with optional toppings.
Notes
For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños to the egg mixture.
Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Use canned whole-kernel corn for maximum texture.
