Ingredients

Scale

Rice:

1 cup white rice - I used jasmine

2 cups broth

Additional:

1 lb ground breakfast sausage - I love Mulay’s

12 large eggs

1/2 tsp salt

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup Greek Yogurt or sour cream

4 tortillas - I used these 8-inch homemade whole wheat tortillas

2-3 cups shredded cheese, to preference

Toppings:

Avocado

Salsa

Sour cream

Cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prep the rice: Thoroughly rinse 1 cup of white rice until the water runs clear. Put into a small pot with 2 cups of broth and turn heat to high. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover the pot, and cook for about 15 minutes until the broth is absorbed. Remove from heat and let steam for 10 minutes with the lid on.
  2. Drain and rinse the black beans.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. 
  4. Make the sausage: Preheat a large pan to medium-high heat and add the ground breakfast sausage. Cook, breaking up the sausage into pieces, for about 8 minutes until done.
  5. Remove the sausage onto a plate and turn the heat down to low. Scramble the eggs and add to the pan the sausage was just cooked in. Season with salt to preference – I did about 1/2 teaspoon. Cook and scramble until done.
  6. Mix together all of the rice, black beans, sausage, eggs, and 1/2 cup of Greek Yogurt or sour cream. I did this in the large pan that I cooked the eggs in. Taste test and add salt if needed.
  7. Put half of the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer the tortillas on top, then add the remaining half of the mixture on top of the tortillas. Top with the shredded cheese.
  8. Put into the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted. If desired, you can broil for a few minutes to brown the cheese.
  9. Prep the toppings: Get all the toppings ready that you are using, such as dicing the avocado, chopping the cilantro, etc.
