How to Make a Chorizo Burrito Breakfast Casserole
- Prep – Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9×13” baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cook Chorizo – Cook chorizo over medium high heat. Optional: add taco seasoning
- Whisk Eggs and Cream. Set aside.
- Layer – Line the casserole dish with flour tortillas. Add chorizo. Add another layer of tortillas. Top with egg mixture. Don’t worry if your tortillas float.
- Bake – Bake 60 minutes.
- Garnish – Cover with queso blanco. Garnish with pico de gallo and salsa verde.
Chorizo and Eggs
Chorizo and eggs go together like peanut butter and jelly. It’s an unexpected combination that is so amazing! Blending the two together in a casserole is quick and easy. No need to make scrambled eggs, you can just blend them with cream for an irresistible light and fluffy texture.
Mexican chorizo is simply a seasoned pork sausage. I love integrating it into this Mexican Breakfast Casserole, but it’s also amazing in queso, on tacos and more!
Tips
- While I love flour tortillas for this casserole, corn tortillas work just as well and are an excellent gluten free option.
- The best thing about this casserole? You can cook the chorizo and put the whole thing together the night before! Then you can just pop it in the oven in the morning! So easy, so good!
- You can decide exactly how spicy you’d like this dish to be. If you like a milder spice level, choose a mild chorizo and salsa verde.

My family loves this recipe & requested it for our breakfast for dinner night this week!
I need to add this to next week’s menu myself! Thanks for sharing! So glad you enjoy it, too!
Update! I made it with corn tortillas this time & they liked it even more, if that’s possible. Ours were very thin white corn so it think the thinness helped. So good!:)
Such a delicious idea! Thank you, Celeste!
